What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for an enthusiastic Teacher of History to join our team from September 2025. This role is open to Early Career Teachers or those with more experience. The most important criteria for us is that you support our vision of “succeed and thrive” for all students; that you are willing to create an excellent climate for learning where students develop academic success, alongside a confidence and love of the subject. The ability to teach other humanities subjects would be advantageous, but is not essential.

If you have a passion for excellence and share our vision, we can offer you the opportunity to be part of a successful and progressive Trust, which is committed to ensuring learning is at the heart of all we do. As a part of the John Taylor Teaching School Hub and working with The Staffordshire Research School at John Taylor we will focus on your development, whatever stage you are at in your career. As a research informed school with a coaching for excellence model, we want you to succeed and thrive too.

Commitment to safeguarding

This Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced disclosure and barring service check is a requirement of this post. A copy of our Safeguarding Policy is available to view on our website.
