Simplified

UWCSEA East is looking for a Teacher of Economics and Business Management from August 2025.

The appointee will ideally be able to teach IBDP Economics, our bespoke UWC Economics course which is designed for grade 9 and 10 students, and potentially IBDP Business Management at UWCSEA East Campus. Experience and enthusiasm for teaching the IB Diploma Theory of Knowledge would be an advantage but is not essential.

Main Responsibilities

Teachers will:

Contribute positively to the collaborative culture of the Economics/Business Department, Humanities Faculty and broader High School teams.
Construct learning experiences that challenge students, support the diversity of learners in each classroom and demonstrate a strong commitment to concept-based teaching and learning.
Ensure that assessments support ongoing learning and provide timely, relevant and appropriate feedback to students formatively and summatively.
Demonstrate effective classroom management that shows an understanding of the academic, social and emotional dimensions and needs of learners.
Keep parents informed about the learning of their children and be proactive in communicating with parents.

It should be noted that the College is a dynamic and high-energy environment: the rewards are high – but so are the demands on teacher time and engagement.

Expectations and Standards

Follow the UWCSEA Professional Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Code of Conduct.
Teach in line with the UWCSEA Teacher Standards

Experience or interest in curriculum development is advantageous.

Pastoral leadership of a mentor group in Grades 9-12.
