History Teacher (with additional responsibilities for the right candidate)

To start September 2026

We are looking for inspiring History Teacher (with the potential for additional responsibilities within the department) to work at Ealing Fields CoE High School, within our successful multi-academy Trust based in the Borough of Ealing. We offer comprehensive CPD, exciting development opportunities and good promotion prospects for our teachers. 

The school offers a diverse history curriculum which aims to teach our students to be powerful conceptual thinkers. The basis of good history is a strong argument and our curriculum asks students to question and interrogate the value of evidence from the past, create their own arguments and question the arguments of others, as they learn about a wide variety of historical topics relating to both Britain and the wider world. At Ealing Fields, history is a very popular subject at GCSE with students studying the AQA specification.  

Ealing Fields CoE High School has consistently ranked in the top 1% of school nationally over the last five years for the progress of its students, and the Trust has been recognised as the number one multi-academy Trust in the country for the progress of its disadvantaged students. The new post-holder will join a dynamic, ambitious and enthusiastic staff group that seeks to deliver an outstanding curriculum and will be well supported by an experienced Senior Leadership Team. For the right candidate additional responsibilities within the department can be created with appropriate TRLs and we would be happy to share and discuss this at interview on a 1:1 basis. The job description would be adapted inline with the conversation.

The role is suitable for ECT applicants. 

We offer:

• Exceptional professional development and career progression.

• Positive working relationships at all levels.

• A supportive Leadership Team.

• Opportunity to gain experience within four different Trust schools with a common commitment to professional collaboration.

The successful candidate will have:

• A good degree and Qualified Teacher Status.

• Ability to teach History to at least KS4.

• Knowledge of the requirements of the National Curriculum.

• An understanding of recent curriculum/learning developments.

• An understanding of the strategies required to motivate and enthuse all students across the ability range as part of a whole school approach to raising achievement.

• An understanding of the processes and techniques required to assess, record and report students’ learning effectively

• Ability to be reflective and driven towards self-improvement.

• A commitment to the ethos of the school.
