Teacher of Religious Studies

We are seeking to appoint a full-time teacher of Religious Studies from Thursday 29 August, 2024. We would, for the right candidate, be willing to consider part-time.

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and well-qualified, with a real love for Religious Studies and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.

A candidate who also has the ability to, and interest in, teaching A level Philosophy be of particular interest.

This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their career (e.g. an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession (we have a full training and induction programme in place).
