Teacher of Girls PE (part time position 0.6 FTE)

Are you an ambitious and passionate teacher looking for a role within PE? 

We are looking to employ an inspiring Teacher of Girls PE to join our well qualified and talented PE team, delivering an ambitious curriculum to all. Applications from newly qualified teachers are welcome, alongside applications for teachers with more experience.

Oasis Academy Lord’s Hill delivers “excellence by all, for all” and that’s at the heart of everything we do.

We are a dynamic and vibrant Academy with enthusiastic and committed staff team. We offer outstanding facilities to all our students and wider community. This is a tremendously exciting time to join us, as opportunities for professional development and career enhancement are being realised across the city. Our Oasis mission is to provide ‘exceptional education at the heart of the community’ and provide our students with experiences that can bring students staff and our community together both through our curriculum and our wider enrichment and community offer. Lord’s Hill is a wonderful place to work due to the excellent partnership we have with our students, their families and the wider community. We strive to be the academy that our community deserves and are excited to welcome applications from future colleagues who share our enthusiasm for education and dedication to transforming the community we live in and serve, believing in perseverance and working within our Oasis ethos.

The development and promotion of our flourishing enrichment programme including team sports underpins our work in our PE team. The Academy follows the Key Stage 3 and 4 national curriculum for Core PE alongside the BTEC TECH Award in Sport course (Pearson) at Key Stage 4 which has traditionally a large and successful uptake. These both offer exceptional pedagogical development for teachers, alongside support of our dedicated National Lead Practitioner for PE. Teachers all receive instructional coaching to continue their professional development. CPD in the department is strong and will be tailored for the successful candidate depending on their experience and expertise. You must be able to use a range of teaching strategies to inspire and motivate our students and demonstrate a commitment to sharing best practice with colleagues in the department. In the Summer Term of 2021, the Academy began the Horizons Project. This saw every student in the Academy have a dedicated iPad for use in the classroom. This is a hugely exciting development, and one which the PE department are making a success of already.

Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the Oasis ethos. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.
