Teacher of Religious Education

I am delighted that you have expressed an interest in working at St Wilfrid’s Church of England Academy.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic and dedicated teacher of RE to join our team. The successful candidate must be a talented teacher who can convey their passion for their subject to our students and be a team player at heart. They should be focused, resilient and good-humoured, and have the capacity to teach RE at Key Stage 3 and 4. The ability to teach KS5 is desirable. This post is suitable for experienced staff or ECTs.

If you were to be successful in your application, you would be joining an Academy which strives for excellence. We benefit from purpose-built accommodation with excellent facilities. All in all, it is a wonderful place to work, learn and worship. Our vision is ‘Lord Direct us to Live Life to the Full’, rooted in John 10:10. Whilst Learning, we are Inspired and develop our Values through Experiences as each member flourishes. We aim to raise aspirations, realise potential and develop well-rounded successful teachers and young people.

As an Academy, we seek to embrace new methodologies whilst maintaining a balance with traditional practice, to bring about examination success. All students at Key Stage 3 and 4 have a 1:1 mobile device; this is an example of our commitment to use modern technology to maximise learning. Recent development of the site has enhanced the resources available to staff and students, which includes an Immersive Classroom space.

We are looking for a high calibre and enthusiastic teacher of RE who wishes to be part of the success story of St Wilfrid’s. You would be joining a forward-thinking Academy with an excellent team of staff, who along with fantastic students, inspire each other and all who come to visit. Whatever your current position, we will provide tailored CPD to challenge, grow, equip and prepare you for the next phase of your career.

The closing date for applications is 9am on Monday 28th October 2024.

If you are interested in moving the Academy forward and are committed to making the learning tomorrow even better than it is today, I would warmly encourage you to apply for this post. If you require any further information regarding this role, or would like to visit the Academy in action, please contact Mrs K Nightingale, via knightingale@saintwilfrids.com who will arrange this.

Please submit the Teaching Staff application form, which can be downloaded from the Academy website, along with a letter of application of not more than two A4 sides detailing how your experiences to date qualify you for the role.

I look forward to receiving your application.
