Job description

Job Title: Teacher of RE

We are seeking a dynamic, high-achieving graduate with excellent communication skills to join our successful and innovative team. The role involves teaching responsibilities across the full range of age and ability, with tailored personal development supported by whole College professional learning.

This is an outstanding opportunity to contribute to our strong co-curricular program through our College community of Houses and to develop your teaching skills in preparation for future roles.

With a strong track record of results, excellent partnerships with feeder primaries, and progression to university — which Ofsted describes as “impressive” — our College is the first choice for students in Bradford.

As a Teacher of RE, you will:

1. Plan and deliver outstanding lessons across KS3, KS4, and (where appropriate) KS5.
2. Inspire students through innovative and faith-rooted teaching, always placing Gospel values at the heart of learning.
3. Assess, monitor, and report on student progress, using data effectively to support success for all.
4. Actively contribute to the Catholic life of the College, participating in liturgical celebrations, retreats, and acts of worship.
5. Support the delivery of REflect sessions in Sixth Form, ensuring students are challenged to think critically about faith, society, and their personal development.
6. Engage fully with the College’s House System, contributing to pastoral development and extra-curricular opportunities.

You will model the highest standards of professionalism, safeguarding, pastoral care, and commitment to our Catholic ethos.

All teachers are required to support the College aims and to play a full part in the pastoral, cultural, and sporting aspects of College life. The majority of full-time staff are Form Tutors and are connected to one of the five Houses in the College. The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.
