Teacher of PE (maternity cover) job summary
If you are passionate about sport, and want to help young people improve their physical fitness and interest in sport, GFM Education is an organisation you will want to join.
The role of a PE teacher is to plan and teach a variety of lessons in physical education, to improve physical and social skills, in children of different ages. It’s about sharing your passion for sport, encouraging children to be more active, and to try new sports, as well as giving them the tools to improve physically and mentally. You will be helping children to develop stronger muscles and co-ordination; understand how the body works and how to keep healthy (i.e. importance of warm up/cool down exercises to reduce injuries etc.); develop healthy body image ideas; and improve confidence both in terms of playing sport and general life.
Key skills and traits required:
• Good athletic ability and knowledge of the human body
• Good leadership and communication skills
• Strong ability to motivate and inspire
• Good initiative, and problem solving skills
• Ability to remain calm and show empathy
• Ability to think on your feet and adapt to changing situations
We are looking for an outstanding teacher of Physical Education who has a positive disposition and is forward-thinking. You will work as a part of a large and successful team delivering PE across the curriculum, including GCSE, level 2 vocational awards and A-level. You will have access to our fantastic facilities across the trust including a Swimming Pool, 3G Astroturf and multiple Sports Halls.
Energy, enthusiasm, positivity and a readiness to contribute to the full breadth of our provision are must-haves. You will be willing to go above and beyond for our students and community to support the trust’s vision in providing unique and equitable opportunities and experiences.
We would be interested in receiving applications from both experienced and ECT colleagues if you;
• Have a passion for every child achieving beyond what they might have thought possible
• Have a commitment to breaking down barriers to learning
• are a highly effective communicator and a ‘people’ person
• Have a strong commitment to safeguarding
• Are sensitive to students’ needs
• Have a determination to secure positive progress and high aspirations for and with students
• are committed to nurture a child’s happiness and enjoyment of school and life
• are an enthusiastic individual and team player with a good sense of humour
Further information about the job
The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.
Visas cannot be sponsored.
If you're interested in teaching or training to teach in England as an international citizen, we can help you understand your next steps.
Commitment to safeguarding
GFM is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this. Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS along with other employment checks. It is a criminal offence to apply for or accept a position working with children if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusion by the DBS. Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment.

The Gosport and Fareham MAT (GFM) is committed to improving education provision and opportunities in Gosport and Fareham. We look after the educational needs of students from ages 6 to 19.
Our mission: TO BE GREATER AND TO ASPIRE FURTHER
‘It is our moral accountability to all our learners to raise achievement, close gaps, support wellbeing and develop the range of learning capacities through a principled curriculum which is a sum of all the learners’ experiences. These collective experiences will ensure the sustained growth of an effective ‘Learner Voice’ which encourages contributions from the diversity of our learner population and community that has significant impact and influence on our School.’
In the GFM we recognise that it is through our collective endeavour that we can make a difference, with Gosport and Fareham learners’ achievement being greater and them aspiring further. The local commitment to this initiative is overwhelming; schools and communities see this as an opportunity for a group of schools to become greater than the sum of their parts.
We have been relentless in our drive to ensure we are fully staffed with colleagues passionate to understand how to release and enable a young person to engage with and enjoy their learning. We are working hard to ensure all our staff are highly skilled in understanding learners’ needs including the wide range of behaviours and strategies that enable us to maximise outcomes for our young people.
What does this mean in practice?
It means we take our responsibilities to our learners and their parents very seriously, and work together:
To ensure every learner achieves to their very best
So no learner is left behind at any stage
Doing all we can to make sure every learner has quality learning experiences in and beyond the classroom and that we look after their well being
In partnerships to ensure our school community is the best it can be.
How do we measure our success?
By looking at every learner’s achievement and progress:
GCSE results
progress made in every subject across different stages of the year
how our pupil’s achievement compares to others across the country
how well our tutor time supports pupil’s achievement and well being
By looking at the quality of teaching and learning, specifically:
how we are developing pupil’s independent learning
how well we feedback to our pupils so they know how to improve
how good every learning experience is
By looking at how well we use evidence to plan appropriate interventions, use these interventions and then see how successful they are on individuals or groups of learners.
We also look at how we are constantly developing our teachers and support staff in meeting these goals.
