  • Assist with the setup and maintenance of sports equipment and facilities, fixture arrangements, risk assessments, kit inventory, and general admin tasks related to the running of the PE department.
  • Wider School Life:
  • There may also be opportunities to get involved in other areas of school life, including residential trips, outdoor education, school events, and academic support

  • A recent graduate with a strong academic and/or sporting background
  • A genuine passion for sport, physical activity, and working with young people
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to motivate, inspire, and support pupils
  • A proactive, flexible, and collaborative approach to working in a team

  • A desire to explore a career in teaching, coaching, or school-based education
  • Why join our team?
  • A strong sporting tradition with excellent facilities and a broad curriculum
  • A supportive and experienced PE team and senior leadership
