Job overview
Business and Economics are popular subjects at Hurst; and are always in the top few subjects selected across the Sixth Form and frequently one of the most popular degree choices also. The department comprises six teachers across Business and Economics, and the opportunity has arisen for a new teacher given the continued expansion of the subject.
Our core-belief as a department is that the use of real-world business case studies is the key to helping students engage with the material covered. We hope to inspire students into wanting to be successful in the world of commerce in addition to exam success.
What We Offer:
- An engaging and collaborative environment with plenty of existing, shared resources
- Opportunities to immerse students in practical experiences through programs like Young Enterprise.
- A chance to shape the minds of engaged students who are genuinely interested in the subject
About the Role: As a Teacher of Business in our Sixth Form you'll guide A-level students through the intricacies of business functions, including marketing, finance, people, and operations management in both a UK and global context. The department follows the Pearson Edexcel curriculum, with classes split across two teachers. An ability to offer a second subject, whether that be Economics or any other subject offered at Hurst would be an advantage, but is not essential.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in a related subject.
- QTS (desirable, not essential).
- Proven track record of excellence in an education setting.
- Strong evidence of continuous professional development.
Who We're Looking For: We're seeking an individual who is proactive, organised, and committed to fostering an environment where students can unlock their full potential. Whether you're a well-qualified ECT or an experienced teacher looking for a second post, we welcome your enthusiasm and expertise.

The College comprises a Sixth Form, Senior School, Senior Prep and Junior Prep with 1,300 pupils in all. Over half the pupils in the Senior School are boarders (weekly or flexi). Hurst is a significant medium-sized enterprise in Mid Sussex with around 480 employees and an annual turnover of £35 million pa.
What particularly strikes visitors to the College is the vibrant dynamic of our community. Situated within a 140- acre campus, surrounded by beautiful countryside, Hurst lies on the border of the South Downs National Park, close to the village of Hurstpierpoint in West Sussex.
This superb location is also just 20 minutes from the city and beaches of Brighton and Hove, whilst London train stations can be reached from Hassocks or Haywards Heath in under an hour. The central campus is thoughtfully laid out and planned with zones for the Academic, Co-Curricular and Pastoral areas of school life. These all lie at the centre of a superbly equipped broader campus.
Hurst has an excellent academic track record and the vast majority of pupils go on to Russell Group universities including Oxford, Cambridge, the various London Universities, as well as large numbers to Exeter, Bristol and Durham.
Founded in 1849 by Nathanial Woodard, Hurst is a Church of England College. The Christian ethos underpins College life but we are a diverse community; we welcome those of other faiths, or no faith, and pursue an inclusive approach in all that we do.
The College is a Co-Sponsor, together with the Diocese of Chichester, of the newly formed Hurst Education Trust, a local Multi Academy Trust. The Trust currently has four local primary schools, although it is envisaged it will grow to over time.
