## Description

A rare and unique opportunity has arisen for a Head of Religious Education and Citizenship to lead a subject area that plays an important role in shaping young people's understanding of the world and their place within it.

As Head of RE and Citizenship, you will provide clear direction and leadership for both subjects, ensuring high-quality teaching, an engaging curriculum and strong outcomes for all students. You will inspire a love of learning, promote inclusive classroom practice and create opportunities for students to explore different perspectives, challenge assumptions and understand the diverse society in which we live.

Key responsibilities:

- Lead the development and delivery of a broad, engaging and ambitious RE and Citizenship curriculum.

- Support and develop colleagues to deliver high-quality teaching and learning.

- Monitor student progress and outcomes, identifying opportunities for improvement.

- Create a classroom culture where students feel confident to ask questions, express their views and engage respectfully with different perspectives.

- Promote inclusion, tolerance, mutual respect and an understanding of British values.

- Contribute to the wider life of the school, supporting students' personal development and preparation for life beyond the classroom.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher who can bring fresh ideas, strong subject expertise and a clear vision for RE and Citizenship. You will have high expectations for yourself and your students, alongside the ability to motivate others and build positive relationships.

Lift Aylward is a vibrant 11–18 learning community of over 1,000 students, including a thriving and ambitious sixth form. We're proud to serve a richly diverse community where many of our students speak English as an additional language and bring a wealth of cultural perspectives to school life.

In our latest Ofsted inspection (December 2025) Lift Aylward was recognised for its strong inclusive culture, with inspectors commenting that “inclusion leaders and staff are highly skilled” and provide tailored support so every pupil can succeed.

We want you to feel supported, valued and able to grow throughout your career with Lift Schools. From high-quality professional development and career progression to wellbeing support and opportunities to connect and collaborate across our network, we invest in you so you can do your best work.
