We are looking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of History and Politics to deliver effective teaching, learning and assessment to students across A level History (Modern and/ or Early Modern and/ or Ancient) and A level Politics to ensure that they reach their full potential.

An ability to teach across this suite of subjects would be an advantage.
