TEACHER OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Full-time Fixed Term (Maternity Cover)

 Required For November 2026

STAHS is a vibrant school supported by a diverse and enthusiastic community of staff, pupils, parents, alumni and friends. It is important that our staff reflect the diversity of our community, and we therefore welcome and encourage applications from people of all genders and sexual orientation, those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic backgrounds, and those with disabilities.

The postholder will be responsible for teaching and coaching a variety of sports as part of our PE and Games curriculum and be able to support our curricular and co-curricular programme; this includes participating in the school’s schedule of fixtures and activities during the week and at weekends. Strong knowledge of football is preferred and experience coaching to an elevated level would be an advantage. There is an expectation that the postholder will work Saturdays when fixtures, activities and/or training is scheduled.

This is a full time, fixed term position to cover a maternity leave. The start date is 2 November 2026.

Experience of teaching GCSE/A-level PE is desirable but not essential. Applications from ECTs will be considered.

Closing date Monday 22nd June 

Interview date Friday 26th June

 We reserve the right to close the vacancy early should we be able to appoint a suitable candidate, therefore please submit your application without delay.
