We invest heavily in our team members who enjoy industry‑leading professional development, exceptional career opportunities, and mobility across our group.

ROLE SUMMARY: King's College School, Cascais, part of the prestigious Inspired Education Group, is a leading international school in the Lisbon area. We offer a global education through the Cambridge International curriculum up to Year 10, supported by a bilingual Portuguese–English programme up to Year 5. Our commitment to academic excellence and holistic development prepares students for success in top universities worldwide.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly effective Business Teacher with IB experience to join us in the next academic year. This is an exciting time to join our rapidly expanding Business and Economics Department. Business is offered at GCSE level in Years 10 and 11 and is currently the most popular optional subject, requiring multiple teaching sets across both year groups. We also offer Business Management within the IB Diploma Programme, as well as Business A Level, both of which are expected to be highly popular as we launch our Sixth Form from September 2026. As such, we are keen to attract candidates with experience of teaching GCSE Business alongside either IBDP Business Management or Business A Level, or ideally both. We particularly welcome applicants who can offer an additional teaching subject alongside Business, such as Economics, ICT or Computer Science, Mathematics, or Science.

The successful candidate will deliver engaging Business and Management lessons that develop critical thinking, commercial awareness, and strong analytical and evaluative skills, leading to excellent academic outcomes. As part of the Inspired global network, you will benefit from supportive colleagues and extensive professional development opportunities, while contributing to the wider academic and pastoral life of the school.

In addition to this position, you may also be interested in our in‑person Inspired Careers Event in London on Saturday 24th January 2026. This school and over 30 other UK and international Inspired schools will be attending to connect with teachers seeking new roles starting from August 2026.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Deliver well‑planned and inspiring Business and Management lessons aligned with GCSE, IB Diploma Programme, and/or A Level specifications, and whole‑school academic expectations.
• Foster critical thinking, ethical awareness, international‑mindedness, and real‑world business understanding through high‑quality teaching and learning.
• Prepare students effectively for internal and external assessments, including IB Internal Assessments where applicable.
• Assess, monitor, and report on student progress with accuracy and consistency, maintaining high academic standards.
• Contribute to curriculum development and the ongoing improvement of schemes of work, resources, and assessment practices.
• Support and collaborate with colleagues within the Business and Economics Department and the wider faculty, promoting strong pedagogy and continual professional growth.
• Ensure inclusive teaching strategies that support students of all abilities, including those with diverse learning needs.
• Enhance the business and enterprise co‑curricular programme through clubs, competitions, case studies, and enrichment opportunities.
• Contribute to the pastoral care of students and promote wellbeing, resilience, and a passion for business and the global economy.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

• A recognised teaching qualification and a degree in Business, Economics, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience teaching GCSE Business and either IBDP Business Management or Business A Level (experience in both is an advantage).
• Strong understanding of IB philosophy, inquiry‑based learning, and assessment requirements.
• Excellent subject knowledge and a passion for inspiring students to understand business, enterprise, and global markets.
• Outstanding organisational, communication, and classroom‑management skills.
• A reflective, innovative mindset with a commitment to continuous professional development.
• Ability to teach an additional subject alongside Business (desirable), such as Economics, ICT or Computer Science, Mathematics, or Science.
