Teacher of History job summary
Teacher of History
0.8 FTE, maternity cover, MPS/UPS
Do you want to work in a school where the behaviour and attitudes of students is outstanding, a school which is driven by strong values, a caring ethos and a commitment to educational excellence, and where each and every student knows the gift of life in all its fullness? Furthermore, a school where extra-curricular success is amongst the highest in the country and student outcomes are well above national average.
St Aidan’s Church of England High School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, passionate, and committed Teacher of History to join its high-performing Humanities faculty on a maternity cover basis, starting in November 2026.
This is an excellent opportunity for an inspiring classroom practitioner to teach History across Key Stages 3 and 4 within a thriving and popular faculty recognised for its strong outcomes and commitment to excellence. The ability to teach other subjects within the Humanities faculty would be advantageous.
You will demonstrate an innovative approach to teaching and curriculum development, a strong commitment to raising achievement, and a dedication to promoting high expectations for all students. You will be a confident communicator, a positive team player, and someone who actively contributes to both departmental and whole-school culture.
You will be joining a highly supportive and collaborative Humanities faculty and will benefit from a rich programme of professional development tailored to your career stage. Opportunities include dedicated ECT support where appropriate, in-school training, external middle leadership pathways, online learning platforms, Trust-wide development through the Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust, and access to the Leeds for Learning partnership. You will have the opportunity to teach motivated students in a school that invests in its staff and celebrates both academic excellence and personal growth.
Completed applications should be submitted via My New Term by 9am on Thursday, 25th June 2026. A Job Description and Person Specification detailing the requirements of the role are also available to download for your reference.
Interviews will take place on Wednesday, 1st July 2026
