Start Date: September 2026

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: Paid to scale

The Role

A premier, high-achieving Secondary Academy in Newcastle upon Tyne 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 values critical source analysis, historiography, and structured debate as core academic pillars across all key stages.

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 and regional museum excursions.

You will act as a primary link with parents, examination boards, and regional 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. The school welcomes applications from proactive, reliable professionals who can break down complex source evaluations, causal factors, and historic debates into crisp, high-impact lessons.
