What the school offers its staff
Hear from one of our colleagues Joe Ingram on what he likes most about working with us:
"At Newcastle PE and School Sport Service you are given the opportunity to work as part of a team with like minded people who have a love for PE. Our Team has a variety of strengths that we bring to the group, meaning in this role, you are constantly learning new drills. Having been in the role for a short period of time, I have been able to progress quickly by being given additional responsibilities which upskilled my abilities and landed me a promotion. The service gives you the opportunity to work with young people across the city, inspiring them and improving their abilities. Working with and supporting PE Leads in over 100 different schools makes every day different but equally rewarding. We have a fantastic team here and it is a joy to watch them progress and to play a role in supporting them with different ideas to develop their practice. I particularly enjoy a Friday afternoon in this role when we do a full team delivery of assessments across the city".
In return we offer:
- Great opportunities for continuing professional development and a career pathway across the trust.
- A team of hardworking, dedicated and friendly staff where everyone is valued.
- The benefitof working in a highly collaborative multi academy trust.
- Membership of theLocal Government Pensions Scheme which the trust also contributes to on your behalf.
- Recognition of previous service with other schools, academies, local government etc.
