Business Studies (with Economics) Teacher Trainee

We are looking for both career changers and recent graduates to train as Business Studies (with Economics) teachers.

Dulwich College in partnership with the University of Roehampton has created a teacher training programme designed to help address the acute shortage of Business Studies & Economics teachers.

Trainees on the programme are in school from day one and at the end of the year are awarded both qualified teacher status (QTS) and a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE). Trainees gain hands-on experience in the classroom through two contrasting school placements in our partner schools. After completing induction, and during both placements, trainees generally are in their placement school for four days per week and spend the fifth at Roehampton University or a hub school for subject and professional studies training, designed and delivered by leading practitioners. The course is highly subject specialised, and trainees receive 14.5 days of subject specific training over the year.

Entry requirements for candidates are a first- or second-class bachelor’s degree (or equivalent of) in a relevant subject, in addition to a love of their subject and a desire to work with young people.
