PE Technician (Suitable for ECTs)

ISA Co-educational Day School with 650 pupils on roll (3 – 18)

PE Technician required for September 2022

Closing date for applications is Friday 17 June 2022.  Due to the need to appoint quickly we reserve the right to interview and appoint at any stage of the process.

We require for September 2022 an enthusiastic PE Technician to support the school's PE and Games Department in the delivery of lessons. You should have excellent interpersonal skills combined with the ability to motivate students, whilst retaining a sense of fun. The PE Technician role will support the department by undertaking a combination of teaching assistant, cover supervisor, clerical and technical support duties within the school.

At the senior school we offer our students a wide range of opportunities within their Physical Education and Games lessons.   Our aim is to give the students the skills and fitness to take part in physical activity, and more importantly a lifelong love of sport for when they move on.  Because of this we try to vary the activities so that they cover traditional sports such as hockey and football, but also net and wall games, striking and fielding games, athletics and gymnastics.

We hope that this approach successfully gives a balance between a healthy lifestyle and competitive sport.  Our inclusive House system is designed to give all of our student’s opportunities, as is our policy on after school clubs.  Many of our students also experience inter-school matches in a plethora of activities.

Our Year 7-9 students receive a weekly double lesson of Physical Education.  This is mostly taught in co-educational groups. Due to the excellent facilities available to us (mostly off site), we also offer tennis, badminton and squash over the three years.

All students across the Senior School receive a triple Games lesson (1 hour 45 minutes), which takes place in the afternoon, except for our Year 7 students.  During these lessons we deliver most of the traditional team games, as well as some racket sports.    We also use this time to run external fixtures or our extensive inter-school sports fixtures.

If you feel that you have the qualities we are looking for and you are determined to achieve the absolute best for the students that you teach, we would be delighted to hear from you.
