Teacher of Religious Education

About us

Plumstead Manor is a thriving and popular secondary school located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. There has been a school on our site since 1913, with the first 105 years as a girls’ school. In response to local demand we admitted our first mixed cohort in 2018 and are now fully co-educational.

Ours is vibrant, diverse and inclusive school with over 60 languages spoken across our community. We have a clear vision founded on excellence and justice, with the ambition to offer a world-class education to the young people and families of Greenwich. Our recipe for success is based on high quality teaching founded on academic rigour, blended with the expectations, support and guidance to create a safe and happy environment. Above all, we want our young people to leave school equipped with the powerful knowledge and necessary skills to change the world for the better. In order to foster successful young people and cultivate harmonious communities, we aim to offer young people excellence in all that we do, so that they can overcome any barrier in their lives and secure greater justice. Our curriculum offers a range of pathways, blending the mastery of knowledge with the development of transferable skills, which see our young people progress onto a full range of future pathways including medicine and veterinary science, courses at the most competitive universities as well as high-quality apprenticeships.

The role

We are seeking an inspiring and well qualified teacher of RE who shares our vision and our commitment to high aspirations for academic scholarship alongside high expectations for behaviour and personal development.

You should also be able to teach Key Stage 3 Humanities subjects if needed (History, Geography and Personal Development). Being able to teach another subject at A level such as Sociology or Psychology would be an advantage.

We are looking for a passionate and motivated professional who can highlight the contribution that a religious and spiritual education can make to the provision of SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education) and the development of British Values across the school, and who is prepared to contribute fully to school life. 

We can offer you dynamic and enthusiastic students, the opportunity to be part of a strong and supportive Humanities team, high quality professional development and a whole school commitment to excellence and justice in a successful and harmonious community.  

This role would suit an experienced teacher or an ECT.  We welcome and support ECT’s with an excellent ECT program, tailored to individual needs, where you will be supported by a mentor. Support and training is continued after the first year of teaching.
