High School History Teacher

St Cyprian's School for Girls seeks to appoint a full-time, enthusiastic and innovative teacher in the High School History Department in January 2027.

At St Cyprian's, we believe History is far more than the study of the past - it is the study of humanity, perspective, identity, power, courage and change. We are looking for a teacher who can bring this alive in the classroom with intellectual curiosity, warmth, energy and relevance.

This is an opportunity for an educator who is passionate about developing thoughtful, engaged young women who are able to think critically, ask courageous questions and participate meaningfully in the world around them.

• Be passionate about History and its contribution to student development
• Create dynamic, engaging and stimulating learning experiences
• Foster warm, collaborative and inclusive classroom environments
• Demonstrate innovation and curiosity in educational practice
• Inspire independent thinking, discussion and critical analysis
• Show genuine commitment to the holistic development and wellbeing of students
• Contribute positively to the broader life and culture of the school
• Be willing to participate enthusiastically in the co curricular programme and wider school community

• An appropriate academic degree with History as a major subject
• A recognised professional teaching qualification
• Current South African Council for Educators registration (SACE)
• Relevant teaching experience in a High School environment
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• A growth mindset, high energy levels and a collaborative spirit

St Cyprian's School is on a meaningful journey of transformation, and the successful incumbent will be expected to contribute positively and thoughtfully to this ongoing work.

If you are an educator who combines academic excellence with heart, curiosity and a belief in the transformative power of education, we would love to hear from you.
