What skills and experience we're looking for

The Governors of Holy Trinity School wish to appoint to the post of History Teacher. This post presents a good opportunity for a newly qualified or established practitioner to join a successful Area of Learning and to develop their career in a good school. At Holy Trinity our mission is to be a centre of excellence for learning inspired by Christian values where young people fulfil their potential.

There is a vacancy for a fully qualified History teacher from September 2023. The role would involve the teaching of History across Key Stage three to five.

We require a candidate who:

• Is an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher
• Has potential to teach successfully across the Key Stages
• Has a good understanding of current developments in the teaching of Humanities and/or Social Sciences
• Can evidence their commitment to excellent teaching and learning
• Is willing to teach additional subjects within the Humanities Area of Learning
• Is willing to get involved in the wider life of the school

In addition to teaching your primary and secondary subject across ages 11 to 18 there is an expectation that you may teach other subjects as directed in order to facilitate the delivery of the curriculum. Relevant support will be offered.

What the school offers its staff

We offer:

• Salary progression in line with our policy on pay and professional development
• A mentoring programme for ECTs
• Engagement of all teaching staff in the TEEP programme to enhance our teaching and learning
• Comprehensive induction programme
• Coaching trios to share good practice
• An extensive programme of CPL

We support, empower and challenge staff to make a real difference in helping our young people achieve their potential. We have many examples of staff who have fast-tracked their career. The school is an easy commute via public transport from Brighton, and from other parts of East or West Sussex and from Surrey and many staff operate car share schemes.

We are seeking candidates who will commit to upholding our values and ethos as a faith school; however, applicants do not need to be a practising Christian.
