Teacher of PE & Games (Netball Specialism)

We are looking to appoint a Teacher of PE & Games (Netball specialism) for a September 2022 start.

Essential to this position is a Netball specialism and either a BA QTS or a BSc Sport Science and PGCE qualification. Desirable for this position is a holder of the UKCC Level 2 in Coaching Netball qualification as well as a qualification in First Aid. 

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the planning, teaching and assessment within the PE & Games department. You should be able to inspire and motivate students through a diverse range of learning styles. You should be able to work on ad-hoc Saturdays and Sundays for sporting fixtures, as well as for periods during school holidays for match tours or other school trips. Involvement with these latter responsibilities will particularly suit a teacher with strong organisational and communication skills. We are looking for a teacher who consistently models excellent practice and can make a significant contribution to this strong and successful department.

The role of Head of Netball is currently being advertised, and the successful external candidate will be encouraged to apply for this separately, should the timings make this possible.

Founded in 1993, the Harrodian School is co-educational and set in SW London on 25 acres of grounds with excellent sports facilities, including tennis and netball courts, a swimming pool, extensive playing fields, and astroturf.

We place a strong emphasis on the ability to convey enthusiasm and enjoyment of the subject to students across the ability range. A sense of fun, a readiness to respond to students’ individual needs and an open approach to teaching are qualities that we value highly. 

A teacher’s willingness to assist with a large range of extra-curricular activities is important in this dynamic and vibrant school. Teaching staff are expected to offer support to the learning, pastoral and co-curricular needs of our pupils to ensure the all-round quality of education offered at Harrodian.
