Required from September 2024 (or January 2025)

Following an internal promotion to Head of History & Politics, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic full-time teacher of History / History & Politics to a large, vibrant and inspirational History & Politics department from September 2024. A January 2025 start may also be considered.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an outstanding department of nine teachers in the senior school, and to shape learning within our warm and dynamic community. The successful candidate will teach gifted and dedicated pupils across a range of year groups in the senior school.

Reflecting the school’s strong commitment to teacher training and development, we are eager to receive applications from recent graduates in History, Politics and related disciplines with no prior teaching experience or who have been undertaking a PGCE or other teacher training route this year, as well as from experienced teachers, and individuals considering a change in career.

Full teacher training is available; the school runs its own bespoke teacher training programme culminating in QTS.

Person Specification

The post will suit someone who has:

  • Excellent subject knowledge and a genuine interest in History and/or Politics as an academic discipline
  • An eagerness to inspire and support all pupils to flourish and reach their academic potential
  • A desire to enrich the intellectual experience of pupils beyond the exam specifications by supporting pupil involvement in challenges, competitions, and societies relating to History and/or Politics
  • Strong pastoral instincts and a commitment to excellent pastoral care for all pupils
  • A desire to contribute to the school’s thriving cocurricular programme
  • An ability to work well with others
  • A personal commitment to ongoing professional development

The following would be advantageous:

  • Prior experience of teaching History and/or Politics in a secondary school environment (NB: for those with prior sixth form teaching experience, we would not expect applicants to have previous experience of teaching both History and Politics, nor A level and the IB.)

As part of the interview process all candidates will be required to complete a short written exercise and teach an observed lesson. Preparation work in advance of the lesson will be required, and details will be provided prior to interview.

Interviews details to be confirmed.

Early applications are encouraged; interviews may be staged and we may choose to appoint at any time during the application process.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service. King’s College School is fully committed to the principles of equality, diversity and inclusivity in its recruitment of teaching and support staff.
