We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational History Teacher to ignite a passion for the past in our pupils aged 11-18 years. The successful candidate will deliver an engaging and relevant curriculum, including GCSE and A-Level.
This full-time position welcomes applications from experienced teachers and those earlier in their careers.
Our History Department sits within the Faculty of Humanities. History is a very popular subject at Ibstock and we have been busy adjusting and refreshing our curriculum for Years 7-9 over the last year. We are one of the school’s most popular optional subjects at GCSE and follow the Edexcel IGCSE course. Take-up into the Sixth Form is also buoyant and here we follow the Edexcel specification. Examination outcomes at both IGCSE and A Level are consistently strong and we have had Oxbridge successes in recent years.
At present a team of six teachers delivers the curriculum from S7 upwards. Our team has a wealth of experience and many have additional pastoral or academic responsibilities across the school. The History Department seeks to foster a love of learning through enriching extracurricular activities, including trips to historical sites like Ypres and the Somme, and engaging events like Black History Month presentations. Our S7 day trip to Battle Abbey in the Autumn Term has now become a regular feature of the school calendar. We also enjoy strong links with our prep school through our "One School" initiative.
Teaching staff are expected to be in School between 08:00 to 16.00 however, hours are as required to fulfil the duties of this role, both before and after school hours.
Ibstock operates a six-month probationary period for teaching roles.
Job start date - Autumn Term 2025
Salary for this role will be competitive (depending on skills and years of experience).
