Job overview
A PE internship at Nottingham High School will give you first-class hands-on practical experience and insight into how to develop each student’s interest in sport.
From tentative beginners to national standard competitors, we have it all and can offer you excellent teaching and coaching opportunities in a range of sports.
Coaching primarily students in Year 7 and above, but also possibly bringing out the talents of our youngest infant school pupils, you will have the opportunity to develop your teaching and pastoral skills, with the backing of a leading Sports department and the wider school.
We are looking for two individuals who are able to be very flexible in their working hours to meet the curriculum and co-curriculum requirements of our students. With the actual 32 hours per week to be worked over 5 days a week (one day off Monday – Friday) including Saturday fixtures and after school hours coaching sessions, you will gain a full insight into teaching life at a top independent school. The experience gained would strongly support an application for a PGCE or other teaching course.
Already a committed and successful sportsperson in your own right? Aspire to be a teacher or top-flight coach in the future? We want to hear from you!
We are looking for PE Interns to join the School from late August 2025 for the school academic year to mid-July 2026 (11 months).
We are offering breakfast, lunch and dinner through school catering during term-time, plus food at fixtures on Saturdays.
As internships can attract a lot of interest, individuals are strongly encouraged to send in their application as soon as possible rather than nearer to or on the day of the deadline.
