Job Description

Teaching isn’t just a job. It’s a calling… and we’re looking for the ones who can’t ignore it. At Lighthouse School, we value curiosity, depth, and thoughtful inquiry over routine compliance. We seek educators who see teaching not as the completion of tasks, but as a relational craft grounded in purpose and intellectual reflection. If you're the kind of educator who sees teaching as a craft, not a checklist, who wants to shape the future, not just supervise it, and are drawn to collaborative and reflective practice, you might have just found your people. Join a team where your ideas matter, your growth is supported, and your students thrive in a place that values the whole child. Lighthouse isn’t like other schools. Maybe you aren’t like other teachers.

If you are a seasoned, experienced lower secondary History and Global Studies Teacher accustomed to integrating project-based, experiential, and inquiry-based learning, and dedicated to fostering confidence, creativity, and critical thinking… we are more likely to be a match. We are committed to offering small class sizes, enabling you to effectively differentiate instruction and support each of your prospective students’ unique learning needs. At Lighthouse, educators are not merely supported but, most importantly, empowered and encouraged to innovate, collaborate, and help shape the educational journeys of their students and their own. The school’s inclusive, forward-thinking community ensures that every teacher has a voice and a role in the school’s development.

If you're an educator who values collaboration, continuous growth, and the freedom to bring your ideas to life, Lighthouse is the place for you.

Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver engaging History & Global Studies lessons for lower secondary students.
• Support students in developing strong historical knowledge, critical thinking, and analytical skills.
• Design lessons that encourage curiosity, inquiry, and understanding of historical events, perspectives, and contexts.
• Use a range of teaching strategies, including source analysis, discussion, and project-based learning, to support different learning styles and abilities.
• Minimum experience of 2–3 years teaching secondary school students within an international school setting.
• Assess and monitor student progress, providing clear feedback and support to help students improve.
• Differentiate instruction to support students with varying levels of historical understanding.
• Encourage students to evaluate sources, form reasoned arguments, and understand cause-and-effect relationships in History.
• Collaborate with colleagues to integrate historical perspectives into interdisciplinary learning projects where appropriate.
• Create a positive classroom environment that encourages curiosity, reflection, and respectful discussion of diverse perspectives.
• Communicate regularly with parents regarding student progress and learning development.
• Contribute to the wider spectrum of school activities, including clubs, projects, or enrichment activities related to history, culture, or humanities.

Requirements:

• A recognised degree in History, or other related scientific field.
• A recognised teaching qualification (e.g. PGCE, QTS, or equivalent).
• Experience teaching History at the lower secondary or middle school level.
• Strong knowledge and understanding of historical concepts, and effective teaching strategies for this age group.
• Ability to explain historical and historiographic concepts clearly and support students with different learning needs.
• Strong classroom management, communication, and organisational skills.
• Excellent fluency in spoken and written English.
• Experience teaching within international schools.
• Familiarity with Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics or similar curricula.
• Experience integrating problem-based or inquiry-based learning approaches.
• Experience supporting non-native English-speaking students. 
• Highly proficient in digital literacy and familiarity with Google Workspace Tools.
