Ethos Education is recruiting a Business Studies Teacher for a secondary school in the Basildon area. This is a full time, permanent role starting in September 2026.

The school is well organised, with a strong uptake in Business Studies at both GCSE and A Level. The department is stable, with shared planning and a consistent approach, so you are not building everything from scratch.

There is also a clear focus on staff wellbeing. Planning is collaborative, expectations are consistent and workload is kept manageable.

• Preparing students for GCSE and A Level Business
• Delivering clear, structured lessons with strong subject knowledge
• Contributing to shared planning and departmental resources
• Supporting student progress and outcomes across the subject

The candidate

• Qualified Teacher Status
• Degree in Business, Economics or a related subject
• Experience teaching Business Studies at KS4 and ideally KS5
• Able to explain concepts clearly and keep lessons focused
• Comfortable working within a collaborative department

What you’ll notice

• A department where resources are shared and expectations are clear
• Students who opt into Business at KS5 and engage with the subject
• Leadership that focuses on consistency 
• A genuine effort to keep workload reasonable and predictable

Why apply

If you want to teach Business properly, including A Level, in a school where systems are already in place and the department works together, this is a solid role.

The Basildon area is well connected to East London and wider Essex, offering a practical commute without the intensity of inner London travel.
