History and Politics Teacher job summary

We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our successful Humanities department. With a specialism in History and the ability to teach this at all Key Stages, the successful candidate will also have the ability to teach A Level Politics (Edexcel) as well as General Humanities to KS3. The ability to teach Sociology at KS5 would be an advantage but is not essential.

You will join a leading department in a heavily over-subscribed academy. The Humanities department is staffed with a mixture of experienced teachers and newly qualified staff all with a commitment to continuous school improvement. We have a designated section of the school which allows us to work closely together and we also occupy a large area within the brand-new Sixth Form Centre. With GCSE and A Level courses in Humanities heavily subscribed, this is a brilliant time to join the team and become part of the department as we continue to move forward.

We have consistently good GCSE and A Level results in our AQA History courses. You will be keen to promote the Humanities department and improve upon the opportunities available to our students.
