Supporting teachers and students with technical requirements, including maintaining facilities, equipment, consumable stock and records.

Assisting with and leading extra-curricular activities, including sports competitions.

Assisting teachers with demonstrations where appropriate.

Coordinating the planning, development and/or organisation of equipment and procedures within the specialist subject area.

Ensuring health and safety regulations are followed in relation to equipment and materials used by staff and students.

What we're looking for:

You will have GCSE or equivalent at grade C/4 in maths and English, together with the ability to prepare resources and equipment safely, provide effective technical support and contribute to the organisation of equipment and procedures within the PE curriculum.

You will be able to work flexibly in response to the operational needs of the school.

Experience of working in a secondary school setting and experience of the secondary PE curriculum would be helpful, although these are not essential.

If you are ready to provide practical, reliable support that helps the PE department deliver effective teaching, learning and extra-curricular opportunities, we would love to hear from you!
