Outstanding Secondary History Teacher

 Outstanding Secondary Teacher of History

Kings’ School Al Barsha is seeking an outstanding History teacher to join our excellent and highly successful department. 

History is a very popular subject at Kings; with a strong student uptake at GCSE and A-Level. The post requires the successful applicant to teach across all year groups from Year 7 to 13, including GCSE and A-Level classes. At the time of writing, the History department is applying to qualify for the History Association’s Quality mark and the successful candidate will be joining a demanding, driven yet supportive team. 

When you join the Kings’ family, you will become part of a strategically connected group of schools, one of which is the only school in Dubai to be rated outstanding 10 years running. Working in Dubai is a fast-paced and rewarding experience, however, it is a demanding and rigorous working environment which requires committed and motivated professionals. As such we seek teachers who understand that their role extends far beyond the classroom. 

Kings’ is part of the John Hattie Visible Learning programme. This focuses on how to best enhance student achievement, linking closely to our mission statement of “The best by every child.” All teachers receive excellent and highly desirable professional development which informs our approach as a professional body. 

Requirements:

• A high quality degree with History as the sole or significant focus
• An outstanding teacher, with a minimum of 3 years experience, though new teachers who are aspiring to be outstanding will be considered
• A-level experience is desirable and candidates with Medieval or Early Modern specialisms will be looked on favourably

• Able and willing to make a broader contribution to school life
• Innovative, creative, enthusiastic and able to deliver results
• Experience of working overseas or with international students would be an advantage.
