Leigh Academy Mascalls is looking for an enthusiastic and creative Teacher of History who can combine a love for deep historical inquiry with the ability to make the past jump off the page. We are seeking a practitioner who believes that academic rigour and high-energy, engaging lessons go hand-in-hand, ensuring that every student is captivated by the stories that have shaped our world.

At Mascalls, we pride ourselves on a culture of aspiration; we have unapologetically high expectations of our students, yet we underpin this with a compassionate, “team-first” approach where staff and students look out for one another. In this role, you will be part of a supportive department that values personal discipline, respect, determination, and resilience, as the foundation for academic success. You will help maintain our strong track record of results while bringing your own flair to the curriculum, making complex themes accessible and exciting through interactive exploration.

If you are a passionate historian dedicated to delivering “lightbulb moments” and want to work in an inclusive academy that treats every teacher as a caretaker of a great legacy, we would love to welcome you to our community.

Please note: Interviews may be conducted on a rolling basis, and therefore we encourage you to apply as soon as possible to avoid missing this opportunity.
