Teacher of Religious Education
Required for 1st September 2024
The Governors of this highly regarded Catholic high school are looking to recruit a motivated, inspirational and enthusiastic teacher of RE to join our hard working and committed team. St Mary’s is a good school which is rapidly improving and while it is vital that any teacher is able to secure the highest standards of attainment at GCSE and A Level a Teacher of RE is so much more. We serve a diverse socio-economic community in a predominately white British/Irish heritage area which has its distinct nature and is reflective of an increasingly secular society. The importance and challenge of religious education in a Catholic setting is even more pronounced. We are looking for a teacher with the skills and ability to take on this role and work with our young people to help inspire and help them question whilst supporting and nurturing them. At the same time, we need our young people to be challenged and for our staff to be a role model to help them grow in their faith journey.
The successful candidate will have the expertise to encourage and engage students, and be determined to get the best from the students, ensuring they make their very best progress. This will be achieved through planning and delivering engaging lessons, which will inspire our learners to succeed. Applications are welcomed from both experienced and newly qualified teachers who enjoy new challenges.
