Religious Education (RE) Teacher

An ambitious and inclusive secondary school in Newcastle is looking for a passionate and dedicated Religious Education (RE) Teacher to join the team this September.

This is a school where Kindness, Integrity, Determination, Manners, Ambition and Positivity underpin everything they do. Staff work collaboratively to create a culture of respect, curiosity and high expectations, encouraging students to explore different beliefs, cultures and ethical perspectives while developing confidence in their own views.

Whether you're an experienced RE Teacher or an ECT looking for the right school to begin your career, this could be an excellent opportunity.

£168.80 – £261.77 per day (PAYE)
Full-Time | September Start | Long-Term Opportunity with Permanent Potential

The Role

As an RE Teacher, you will:

• Teach Religious Education across KS3 and KS4
• Deliver engaging lessons exploring world religions, philosophy and ethics
• Encourage respectful discussion, critical thinking and independent enquiry
• Support students in developing cultural awareness and understanding of diverse beliefs
• Create an inclusive classroom where all students feel valued and able to contribute
• Work collaboratively within a successful Humanities department
• Contribute to the wider life of the school through enrichment opportunities where appropriate

You'll be joining a department that is committed to helping students become thoughtful, respectful and open-minded individuals.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Supportive leadership team and collaborative staff culture
• High expectations alongside excellent pastoral support
• Clear behaviour systems that allow teachers to focus on teaching
• Strong Humanities department with opportunities to share best practice
• Excellent CPD and career progression opportunities
• Long-term opportunity with potential for a permanent role

This is the kind of school where teachers are encouraged to inspire meaningful discussion, challenge perspectives and help students develop into well-rounded young people.

We're Looking For

• Qualified RE Teachers (QTS or equivalent)
• ECTs looking for a supportive start to their teaching career
• Strong classroom practitioners with excellent subject knowledge
• Teachers who can inspire curiosity, respect and thoughtful debate
• Educators who build positive relationships while maintaining high expectations

Whether you're looking for your next challenge or your first teaching role, we'd love to hear from you.
