Job description
Location: Luton, Bedfordshire Contract: Full-Time, Permanent/Long-term Start Date: ASAP Are you a philosopher, a theologian, and an educator with the ability to navigate the "big questions" of life in one of the UK’s most vibrant multi-faith communities? We are seeking an intellectually curious and empathetic Religious Education Teacher to join a high-achieving Humanities department in Luton . In a town defined by its rich tapestry of cultures and beliefs, this school provides a unique platform to teach RE as a vital tool for social cohesion, critical thinking, and ethical debate. The Role As an RE Teacher, you will deliver a thought-provoking curriculum across KS3 and KS4 . You will join a faculty that moves beyond simple "fact-learning" to explore the complex intersections of faith, philosophy, and modern ethics, with the opportunity to lead A-Level Philosophy or Ethics for the right candidate. Key Responsibilities: World Religions Mastery: Teaching the core beliefs, practices, and diverse expressions of the six major world religions and non-religious worldviews (Humanism). Ethical Debate: Facilitating high-level discussions on contemporary issues, including medical ethics, social justice, the environment, and conflict. Philosophical Inquiry: Introducing students to the works of key thinkers—from Plato and Aquinas to modern existentialists—to develop their reasoning skills. Community Engagement: Building links with local places of worship and community leaders to provide students with authentic, lived experiences of faith in Luton. Exam Success: Preparing students for AQA or Edexcel GCSE Religious Studies, focusing on evaluative essay writing and the comparison of different perspectives. Why Join This School? Luton’s Global Identity: Work in a town that is a national leader in interfaith dialogue, providing an incredible real-world context for your lessons. Inclusive Ethos: Join a school that treats RE as a core component of its pastoral and academic identity, valuing the subject's contribution to student well-being. Collaborative Humanities Faculty: Benefit from shared resource banks, joint planning with History and Geography, and a commitment to reducing teacher workload. Professional Development: Access to specialized CPD, including training on "Difficult Conversations" in the classroom and pathways to Head of Year or SACRE roles. About You We are looking for an educator who can foster a "safe space" for dialogue while maintaining academic rigor and objectivity. The Ideal Candidate: Holds QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and a relevant degree in Theology, Philosophy, or Religious Studies. Has a proven track record of engaging students from diverse religious and non-religious backgrounds. Possesses excellent classroom management skills and the ability to handle sensitive topics with diplomacy and care. Is a passionate advocate for the role of RE in developing "global citizens."
