Job overview
The school is looking to appoint a committed, enthusiastic individual as a teacher of Religious Education. The RE department has a crucial role to play in delivering the values of our Christian ethos. The department uses a combination of the Blackburn Diocese Illuminating Pathways programme of study and the Lancashire SACRE syllabus. The school received an outstanding judgement in its most recent SIAMS inspection and we seek a teacher that will support our drive for excellence. The department has two specialist RE teachers including the Head of RE who are supported by other colleagues in the delivery of the curriculum.
Following the retirement of a part-time teacher who was the former Head of RE we are looking for a specialist teacher of RE who has the ability to teach a humanities subject. This would ideally be History, although the ability to teach Geography would also be considered. This is a 0.62 FTE 12 month fixed term contract because further staffing changes are anticipated at the end of August 2019 when this role will be reviewed. It will require the successful candidate to work 4 days in week A and 3 days in week B.
We are looking to recruit the best teacher possible to this role whether they are an NQT or an experienced teacher looking for the opportunity to work in an outstanding department in an outstanding school.
The closing date is midnight on Tuesday 22nd May
Shortlisting will take place on Thursday 24th May, and interviews will be held on Friday 25th May.
Due to the very short timeframes, school will contact you by email or telephone to confirm that you have been invited for interview.

Pupils know that their teachers have high standards for their academic achievement and their behaviour. The majority of pupils work hard to rise to these expectations. They behave responsibly and they achieve well. The atmosphere around school is calm and respectful. Pupils feel safe. Leaders and governors share a clear vison for the quality of education."
