Start Date: September 2026

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: Paid to scale

The Role

A high-achieving Secondary Academy in Lincoln is seeking a professional, highly articulate, and exceptionally organised History Teacher to join their prestigious Humanities faculty. This is an excellent opportunity to join a department that integrates historical inquiry with local heritage frameworks, working within a school that prioritizes critical source analysis, historiography, and debate as core academic pillars.

The successful candidate will provide day-to-day instructional leadership across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5. The timetable will involve delivering a rich, challenging curriculum covering early modern British history, industrialization transitions, and international relations at GCSE, alongside advanced autocratic regimes, civil rights movements, and political history models at A-Level. Beyond classroom teaching, responsibilities include constructing comprehensive student tracking portfolios, implementing targeted intervention tracks for essay-writing fluency, managing parental correspondence, and actively leading the school’s historical societies, archaeological clubs, and regional museum excursions.

You will act as a primary link with parents, examination boards, and local heritage networks, requiring absolute professionalism and data accuracy at all times. Strong organisational skills are a prerequisite, as you will balance heavy mock diagnostic marking cycles with real-time digital progress logging and strict documentation guidelines.

The academy is looking for a proactive, reliable professional who can break down complex source evaluations, causal factors, and historic debates into crisp, engaging, and high-impact lessons. Strong communication, deep data literacy, and a collaborative spirit are important to thriving within this progressive academic faculty.
