Job description

A well-established and ambitious 11–18 secondary school in the Derby area is seeking a passionate and knowledgeable Teacher of History to join its thriving Humanities department. This role offers the chance to teach History in a school that values academic rigour, strong classroom practice and a supportive, professional culture. The Role You will teach History across Key Stages 3 and 4, with the opportunity to teach A-Level depending on experience. The History curriculum is carefully sequenced to build strong chronological understanding alongside key historical concepts such as causation, consequence, change and interpretation. Lessons are discussion-rich and enquiry-led, with a strong focus on source analysis and extended writing. Students are encouraged to think critically, debate ideas confidently and develop well-evidenced arguments. Shared schemes of work and assessments ensure consistency across classes, while still allowing teachers the freedom to bring topics to life in their own way. History is a popular subject at GCSE, with strong uptake and positive outcomes, and the department regularly reviews curriculum content to keep it engaging and relevant. The Department The Humanities faculty is collaborative, well-led and supportive. History teachers work closely together, sharing resources, moderating work and reflecting on practice.

The School This is a large, inclusive secondary school known locally for its calm atmosphere, clear routines and positive relationships. Behaviour is strong, classrooms are purposeful and students are respectful and engaged. Leadership is visible and approachable, with a genuine commitment to staff wellbeing and manageable workload.

Facilities are modern and well maintained, with Humanities classrooms clustered together to support collaboration and shared practice. What the School Is Looking For The successful candidate will: Hold QTS or an equivalent qualification in History Have strong subject knowledge and enthusiasm for the discipline Deliver engaging, structured lessons with high expectations Manage behaviour confidently and consistently Value teamwork and reflective practice Applications are welcome from experienced teachers and ECTs looking to develop within a supportive department.
