Teacher of PE (Maternity Cover) Min 0.6FTE to full time

We are looking for an enthusiastic PE teacher who has experience of teaching at Year 7 to 11 to fill this role from 1st September 2024. The successful candidate will be an outstanding classroom practitioner with experience in teaching throughout the age range. They will also be able to inspire and motivate students of all aptitudes and abilities. In addition, they will have responsibility for dance. A willingness to contribute to the broader life of the school, including running visits and fixtures, is essential. The successful candidate will need to be able to commit to two evenings after school and should be able to drive a minibus (testing can be arranged by the school if needed). This role is being advertised as a minimum of 0.6FTE, but in order to boost the development of PE across the school, we are willing to consider candidates seeking a full-time position.
