As a trainee RE teacher, you’ll develop the skills to devise and deliver lessons that excite and intrigue pupils. These will intertwine with their wider learning in other subjects, as well as their understanding of society, culture, and what it means to be human.

A career in teaching RE offers you the chance to tackle challenging, thought-provoking topics with young people. You can use your creativity and passion for the subject to develop lessons that help your pupils collaboratively discuss and answer the most fundamental questions – from belief in God to the meaning and purpose of life.

By delivering comprehensive teaching in these areas, you can help your classes become compassionate young adults, respectful of religious and cultural differences. And to complement that job satisfaction, you’ll benefit from a competitive starting salary of at least £22,917, or £28,660 in inner London.  You'll also have lots of opportunities for rapid career progression and pay increases.
