The Head Teacher and Governing Body are pleased to offer this exciting and unique opportunity to become a part of the exceptional staff team at St Austin’s Catholic Primary School

We are looking for suitable candidates who are highly capable and looking to lead the sporting and extracurricular provision in school, in line with the aims set out in the terms of the Sports Premium Funding.  The position is temporary until 31st March 2022 and will be reviewed based on the continuance of the Sports Premium budget.

We have a highly active and talented group of pupils who will benefit greatly from an inspirational sports leader in school. This post should excite a candidate with a particular interest in sport as well as all the components necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle. The successful candidate will work with a high degree of independence and therefore initiative and vision will be essential attributes.

You will be responsible for:

• developing the profile of PE, physical activity and sport/coaching activities across the school and local community;

• building capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years;

• finding new and exciting ways to engage all pupils in regular and meaningful physical activity;

• working with children and families to increase levels of knowledge around diet, nutrition and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, the successful candidate will actively support the Mission Statement and the Ethos of our Catholic Primary School.  We are also looking for a candidate who is happy to undertake first aid training.  In addition, the successful candidate will need to be flexible with their start and finish times, as after school sporting fixtures and possible Saturday events may need to be covered during term time.

St Austin’s Catholic Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.  An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful applicants.

Detailed information about the role can be found in the job specification or please contact the school on 01924 339435.  It is planned that the role will start ASAP.
