We are seeking an experienced PE and Games teacher to join our new Prep School in Twickenham. This an exciting opportunity to join a brand-new school seeking to develop independent learning skills and creativity in all its pupils. Building on a Montessori base and using the very best up-to-date resources, our school is fully committed to striving for excellence for each of our pupils. The school has excellent facilities, with access to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is looking to develop their leadership skills and is willing to set up a new department within a fast-growing school.

We are looking for someone who is sympathetic to the pastoral needs of children and is supportive of our three Rs, Resilience, Respect and Reflection.

A willingness to participate fully in the co-curricular life of the school is expected.

A completed application form and cover letter should be returned  as soon as possible. Only completed application forms will be considered.

Closing date: Noon on Thursday 2nd February 2023.

Interview date: w/c 20th February 2023.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The safeguarding responsibilities of the post include:

• child protection, discipline, health and safety
• promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young persons for whom you are responsible and with whom you come into contact

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
