History Teacher (Years 7-11)

Holme Grange is a successful, traditional Independent School with a real soul. We aim to stimulate intellectual curiosity and encourage pupils to embrace challenge. We have waiting lists in most year groups. We have high expectations, setting high standards for ourselves and our pupils. Pastoral care is the responsibility of every member of staff and is one of the many strengths of the School. 

Having very successfully extended our School’s excellent provision to teach to GCSE back in 2015, the School is thriving and Eaton Grange currently operates a four-form entry from Year 7.

We have innovative, forward thinking staff with an understanding of how children learn and continue to learn ourselves. We are looking for someone to join us who is willing to contribute ideas and enthusiasm, to motivate and inspire and to strive to provide the finest education, care and opportunity for our pupils.

The successful candidate will have the ability to teach History in our senior School, Eaton Grange, from Years 7 to 11 (KS3 & 4). The ability to teach a second subject, such as English or Geography, would be advantageous but not essential.

The successful applicant will be an exemplary practitioner with excellent interpersonal and team working skills. If you are dedicated and energetic, we offer a delightful working environment which is well resourced. Professional development opportunities are available and encouraged.

The position would appeal equally to a new qualified teacher or an experienced professional seeking a new challenge.

 A willingness to play a full part in the extra-curricular and pastoral life of our happy and vibrant school is essential. Holme Grange has its own salary scale.

Holme Grange is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants for all jobs will undergo appropriate child-protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check to enhanced level. A Prohibition Check is also carried out. Holme Grange School is an equal opportunities employer.
