What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a creative, inspirational and outstanding practitioner to join our PE and Wellbeing Faculty as KS5 Coordinator.
The successful candidate will teach across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, and will lead the faculty in the coordination and implementation of the KS 5 curriculum. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with aspirations for leadership and would particularly suit a candidate seeking their first management role.
Experience of teaching BTEC Sport at Level 2 and Level 3 is essential. An enthusiasm for basketball and a willingness to help develop girls’ football would be desirable but is not essential. You will join a supportive and collaborative department committed to delivering a high-quality PE curriculum and providing excellent opportunities for students to participate in sport.
