About the Role

History Teacher (SEN – Secondary)
Location: Great Yarmouth & Lowestoft (50:50 split)
Start Date: ASAP or Jan 2026 | Contract: Permanent | Hours: 35–40 per week
Salary: Main Pay Scale

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 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
