What skills and experience we're looking for
Learning Leader - History
Full-time / Permanent
MPS/UPS + TLR 2.3 £7,902pa To start 01.09.2025
“We are characterised by how we treat our people”
We are incredibly proud of our ambitious, curriculum focused, research-driven school. Our vision is built around the principles of ambition, respect and belonging and we have a strong commitment to the development of our staff as outstanding professionals.
We wish to appoint a dynamic, innovative and ambitious professional with the vision and commitment to lead the History Department. The successful candidate will have the ability to lead and inspire others, being:
- an excellent practitioner with a clear understanding of learning;
- an effective communicator with strong interpersonal skills;
- a creative person, with the skills to develop History as a key Ebacc subject;
- committed to raising student attainment and further improve the History results.
This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to contribute to our work and benefit from an excellent environment, where teachers are encouraged to progress their careers with us. We have great facilities ensuring that our students and staff have the best learning environment in which to achieve. SJT is a very positive community, with our recent staff survey showing that over 95% of our staff enjoy coming to work and are proud to be part of our school. We take staff workload and professional development seriously and we give all our teachers non-teaching time of at least 20% of their timetable. We also recognise the challenges of working in a school and we are open to discussion around flexibility of working.
Our History curriculum is exciting and ambitious and has been designed to reflect the context of our students and the world and community we live in. We have been passionate about research into curriculum design and are excited by this opportunity to further strengthen our department. This post arises due to the recent promotion of the former leader of History to an Assistant Headteacher role within the school.
We are looking for a teacher who shares our drive and passion to inspire our students with their love of their subject and a passion for learning. Our ideal candidate would show:
• Great classroom practice and an ability to engage all young people.
• The ability to motivate students of all abilities to achieve their full potential in mixed attainment settings
• A passion and commitment to raise standards and achievement.
• The ability to work and contribute as part of a team.
• Commitment, resilience, patience, hard work and a good sense of humour.
We welcome visitors to the school. To arrange a time to visit and meet with the headteacher please contact Susan Rigg (email – s.rigg@sirjohnthursby.lancs.sch.uk or telephone 01282 682313).
What the school offers its staff
The successful candidate will fully embrace our ethos of Ambition, Respect and Belonging whilst bringing fresh ideas that will build on current strengths and achievement. A core pillar of our “belonging” ethos is that all in our community are known, valued and loved. We want all staff to share this commitment.
