We are seeking to recruit a dynamic, innovative Teacher of Religious Studies of our IB Middle Years and Diploma programmes (Years 7 to 13). Depending on the experience of candidates, there is room for growth to take on the Chair of the RS Department as part of our ‘succession planning’ with the current Chair of Department.
The successful candidate will be joining a well-established department within the school’s academic programme and be responsible for leading the development and implementation of the Religious Studies programme across the school, so we to ensure students deepen their knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other world religions, develop their skills of analysis and evaluation, and the ability to discuss ideas critically and meaningfully with peers.
The Religious Studies programme at Marymount is based on the Religious Education Curriculum Directory from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and incorporates approaches to teaching, learning and assessment from the IB Middle Years and Diploma programmes. As such, the role requires applicants to be Roman Catholic.
Experience of teaching in an IB school is preferable but not essential. Applicants looking to lead a department for the first time are welcome to apply. Full details can be found in the Candidate Pack on our website www.marymountlondon.com
