What skills and experience we're looking for

We currently have an opportunity to appoint a positive and skilled Deputy Curriculum Leader for History to deliver the highest level of teaching & learning for our aspirational students. Excellent subject knowledge and the ability to motivate students through inspirational, personalised teaching is essential. The ability to teach to GCSE is essential and the ability to teach to A Level is desirable.

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented teacher to join a thriving school:

• to work with students who are committed to their learning and passionate about their own further professional development;
• to further enhance an already high functioning department of skilled teachers;
• to work to raise the outcomes for all pupils by inspiring and motivating students and staff alike.

There is also an additional opportunity for colleagues with Pastoral experience to be considered for a current Pastoral vacancy. If you are interested in this additional opportunity, please indicate this within your application form and covering letter which can then be discussed further in interview. This should not deter colleagues from applying who do not wish to be considered for a Pastoral role.

History is offered through KS3, KS4 and KS5, with Politics also offered at KS5. The successful applicant should therefore be able to teach GCSE History. The ability to teach History or Politics to A Level is desirable; where candidates have not yet delivered to A Level but are excited by the opportunity, they will be well supported through excellent mentoring and CPD.

The successful applicant will support the Curriculum Leader for History in leading the Department forward towards successful outcomes for all students. Key responsibilities of the post will include supporting the Curriculum Leader with a focus on academic intervention in order to give all of our students the greatest chances of success.

An active commitment to staff development through a strong and consistent focus and dialogue around teaching & learning pedagogy makes this an ideal position for candidates committed to being the best practitioners they can be.

In return we can offer you:

A positive and innovative learning culture supported by students, staff, parents and governors.

Enthusiastic students who enjoy learning and engage positively in all aspects of school life.

Access to high quality continuing professional development and the opportunity for personal growth and development.

Commitment to Middle Leader Development through:
