What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a passionate, highly skilled and proactive teacher of Girls’ PE to join our successful, supportive and highly motivated PE dept. This is a really exciting opportunity for an aspiring teacher or a keen sports coach (or a recently qualified teacher), to join an exceptional department that delivers physical education to a high standard across a breadth of different sporting disciplines, including netball, football, cricket, swimming, water polo, to name but a few. There is also the opportunity to get involved in our Sixth Form enrichment programme, as well as our extensive Duke of Edinburgh & Ten Tors programmes, and to contribute to the administrative function of the department, working alongside the PE leadership team.
Newton Abbot College runs a Netball Academy that offers aspiring netballers the opportunity to follow a development and competitive pathway in pursuit of excellence. We have a number of girls on player development pathways and work with all students to provide the extra training they need to be successful. Our under-14 and under-16 netball teams have reached the Regional and National round of the National School England Netball competition and are regular finalists in the ‘Sisters in Sport’ netball cup competition. A key part of this post would be to take a leading role in the continuing development of the Netball Academy and its provision to our students and the local primary community.
If you are student-focused, keen to contribute to our Netball Academy and extra-curricular provision, a skilled sportsperson and recognise the positive impact PE and superb PE provision can have on young people, then we would very much like to hear from you!
