Bring History to Life for Learners Who Need It Most

Are you a creative and committed History Teacher who believes every child deserves to feel inspired by the past? Whether you're an experienced specialist or an early-career teacher passionate about inclusive education, this is a unique opportunity to shape the future of history learning for students with special educational needs.

Join a dynamic and expanding school that supports young people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and social, emotional, and behavioural challenges. Rated 'Good' by Ofsted, the school is entering a period of exciting growth; this is your chance to be part of something transformational.

The Role

You'll deliver engaging and accessible history lessons to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners across two campuses in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. With small class sizes, a movement-based learning philosophy, and strong wraparound support, this is a role where creativity and connection are central to success. Lessons are designed to awaken curiosity, encourage exploration, and make historical concepts relevant and memorable for diverse learners.

Key Responsibilities

Teach a rich and adaptable History curriculum that meets a variety of SEN needs

Use plenty of movement, creativity, and hands-on approaches to bring history to life

Support pupils' academic, emotional, and social development within a trauma-informed environment

Collaborate closely with clinical, pastoral, and educational teams across both sites

Tailor content to individual needs, ensuring progress against EHCP targets

What Makes This School Stand Out

A fully creative and flexible curriculum built around curiosity and self-expression

Physical activity embedded into 50% of the school day to support neurodivergent learners

A trauma-informed and non-restraint approach to behaviour management

Small class sizes (maximum 10 students) with high staff-to-pupil ratios

Onsite therapeutic and pastoral services to meet holistic learner needs

What We're Looking For

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS

Experience in mainstream or SEN settings (history teaching preferred)

Confident in differentiating content for learners with EHCPs and additional needs

Ability to build trust and engagement with students who may have struggled in traditional classrooms

Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential for travel between campuses)

What You'll Gain

A chance to join a purpose-driven school focused on growth and inclusion

Tailored CPD and professional development opportunities

A positive, collaborative school culture that supports staff wellbeing

Support from a dedicated Inspire EHC consultant throughout your journey

Clear pathways for progression within a forward-thinking educational community
