RS & Philosophy Unqualified Teacher

Full-time | Long-term | Immediate or September start
Salary: £28,000+

Are you a Philosophy or Religious Studies graduate ready to bring big questions into the classroom?

Can you challenge students to think critically about ethics, belief, and the world around them?

Are you looking for a role where you can teach, lead discussion, and develop into an outstanding educator from day one?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a high-calibre Humanities graduate to join a high-performing secondary school in North London as an Unqualified Teacher of Religious Studies & Philosophy. This role is ideal for graduates who are passionate about their subject and ready to step into a full teaching position with clear progression into teacher training.

About the School

This is a high-achieving, academically focused secondary school with a strong reputation for excellent student behaviour and consistently impressive results. The school fosters a culture of respect, curiosity, and intellectual challenge, making it an ideal environment for subjects like RS and Philosophy to thrive.

With a commitment to developing well-rounded students, the school places great emphasis on critical thinking, debate, and ethical understanding. Staff are supported by a clear leadership vision and structured development pathways, with many graduates progressing into teacher training within the school.

The Role

As an RS & Philosophy Unqualified Teacher, you will:

• Teach Religious Studies and Philosophy across KS3 and KS4
• Deliver engaging lessons that encourage discussion, debate, and independent thought
• Support students in developing analytical and evaluative skills
• Plan, assess, and track student progress towards strong outcomes
• Contribute to a calm, focused, and academically ambitious environment
• Prepare for progression into a formal teacher training pathway

You will be given the opportunity to take ownership of your classroom, develop your teaching style, and make a genuine impact.

What We’re Looking For

• A 2:1 or First-Class degree in Philosophy, Religious Studies, or a related subject
• Strong academic background and subject knowledge
• A passion for education and intellectual enquiry
• Confidence leading discussions and engaging students
• A clear ambition to become a teacher

Why This Role Stands Out

• Step straight into a full teaching role with real responsibility
• Work in a school that values academic rigour and thoughtful discussion
• Clear pathway into teacher training and long-term progression
• Competitive salary of £28,000+
• Be part of a disciplined, high-achieving school environment

If you’re ready to bring your subject to life and inspire students to think deeply about the world, this is your opportunity.
