Are you an enthusiastic History Teacher looking for a part-time teaching opportunity in Maidstone?

A well-established and supportive secondary school in Maidstone, Kent is looking to appoint a passionate and committed Teacher of History to join its Humanities provision on a part-time basis, working 3 days per week.

The successful candidate will primarily teach History, with a requirement to also teach Religious Studies as part of their timetable.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced History Teacher looking for a part-time position, as well as an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to develop their career within a supportive and collaborative secondary school environment.

The Role

• Plan and deliver engaging History lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4, with opportunities to teach KS5 where appropriate.
• Teach Religious Studies as part of your timetable.
• Create stimulating lessons that encourage pupils to develop their historical knowledge, critical thinking, analysis and evaluation skills.
• Use a range of teaching strategies and resources to engage pupils across different abilities.
• Assess pupil progress and provide constructive feedback to support further achievement.
• Adapt and differentiate teaching to meet the needs of individual pupils.
• Maintain high expectations for behaviour, engagement and academic progress.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues within the History and wider Humanities team.
• Communicate effectively with parents, carers and other stakeholders regarding pupil progress.
• Contribute positively to the wider life of the school.

The Ideal Candidate

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an appropriate UK-recognised teaching qualification.
• Has a relevant degree in History or a related subject.
• Has experience teaching History within a secondary school setting, either through employment or teacher training placements.
• Can confidently teach History at KS3 and KS4 / GCSE level.
• Is willing and able to teach Religious Studies alongside History.
• Has strong and up-to-date History subject knowledge.
• Understands the secondary History curriculum and a range of approaches to assessment.
• Can plan challenging, engaging and well-organised lessons.
• Can adapt teaching to support pupils across a range of abilities and learning needs.
• Has confident classroom and behaviour management skills.
• Has high expectations for pupil achievement and progress.
• Is enthusiastic, dedicated and committed to working as part of a collaborative team.
• Is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
• Experience teaching History at KS5 and/or previous experience teaching Religious Studies would be advantageous.

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a welcoming secondary school with a strong team ethos and a commitment to supporting both pupils and staff.

The 3-day-per-week timetable provides an excellent opportunity for teachers seeking a genuine part-time position while remaining fully involved within a secondary History department.

The position could particularly suit an experienced teacher looking to reduce their working week, a teacher returning to the classroom, an ECT seeking a part-time opportunity, or a Humanities specialist confident teaching both History and Religious Studies.
