What skills and experience we're looking for

We require an enthusiastic, inspirational and ambitious teacher of RE to cover maternity leave, who is committed to raising the expectations and achievements of our students. The successful candidate will be suitably qualified, will have strong subject knowledge, a passion for the subject and will enjoy teaching their subject to a high level, including GCSE (and to A Level would be an advantage).

This is a wonderful career opportunity to work in a very strong, successful and supportive team in a popular school. We welcome applications from experienced or newly qualified teachers. This may also be an opportunity to gain experience for a HLTA considering teacher training.
