St Aidan’s Church of England High School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, passionate, and committed Teacher of History to join its high‑performing Humanities faculty on a maternity cover basis, starting in November 2026.

This is an excellent opportunity for an inspiring classroom practitioner to teach History across Key Stages 3 and 4 within a thriving and popular faculty recognised for its strong outcomes and commitment to excellence. The ability to teach other subjects within the Humanities faculty would be advantageous.

You will demonstrate an innovative approach to teaching and curriculum development, a strong commitment to raising achievement, and a dedication to promoting high expectations for all students. You will be a confident communicator, a positive team player, and someone who actively contributes to both departmental and whole‑school culture.

You will be joining a highly supportive and collaborative Humanities faculty and will benefit from a rich programme of professional development tailored to your career stage. Opportunities include dedicated ECT support where appropriate, in‑school training, external middle leadership pathways, online learning platforms, Trust‑wide development through the Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust, and access to the Leeds for Learning partnership. You will have the opportunity to teach motivated students in a school that invests in its staff and celebrates both academic excellence and personal growth.

St. Aidan’s Church of England High School (part of Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust) takes safeguarding very seriously and is committed to safeguarding and the promotion of the welfare of all children and the prevention of extremism. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
