We are delighted to have the opportunity to take on a new Teacher of History who loves their subject, is eager to engage in research and believes that every student should be given the best chance to succeed. We are looking for a teacher who will bring their own dynamism and positive attitude and become a trusted and valued team member. 

Are you enthusiastic to spark a curiosity for History in our young people? Are you keen to keep developing your own subject and pedagogical knowledge? Are you looking to collaborate and grow in a supportive and dedicated environment? 

The successful candidate will have high expectations of their students, strong subject knowledge. Support will be provided for less practised teachers and the option to teach at KS5 will be considered for suitably skilled and proficient applicants. The History and Geography teams are led by exceptionally experienced teachers with a wealth of resources and expertise to share.

The ideal candidate will:

• be passionate about their subject(s) and be able to communicate the importance of the subject with students.
• be organised, efficient, reliable and strive to meet high standards and expectations.
• be able to inspire students from a range of backgrounds and abilities and help them strive to be better people.
• be an excellent classroom practitioner and confident to deliver their subject(s).

We welcome applications from both ECT’s and experienced teachers.
