Bedford, United Kingdom Bedford School Full time

**Head of History (BS)**:
Job description

The posts may suit a teacher keen to take their first step into academic leadership, or it may suit an experienced middle leader keen to develop their experience in a larger department and/or leading a new course. The school is strongly committed to providing outstanding professional development for new middle leaders; all HoDs participate in regular leadership development training (sometimes held jointly with academic leaders in Bedford Prep School), all new HoDs are allocated a mentor in their first year in post, and the school maintains a generous professional development budget for teachers to access external CPD. Academic departments at Bedford School are divided into broad faculty areas.

It would be desirable, though not essential, for the successful Head of History to have experience of GCSE, A Level and IB qualifications; what is essential, however, is a willingness and enthusiasm to ensure History continues to play a central role in the academic life of the school and a track record as an outstanding teacher in at least two of these three courses.

Experience of the independent sector and/or a boarding environment is not essential; each year, Bedford School welcomes teachers from the state and independent sectors in England, and from some of the world’s best international schools, and we value the experience that they bring. What is essential, however, is an enthusiasm to build on the many strengths of our unique school community to create a thriving department.

Above all, what we are looking for from our new Head of History is an excellent understanding of what outstanding teaching and learning looks like, and a clear vision for how to realise it in the department.

**Closing date: Monday 11th March 2024 9:00am**

**Interview date: Friday 15th March 2024**
