Start Date:        As soon as possible

Contract:          Full time, Permanent

We are seeking to appoint a motivated and enthusiastic female Teacher of Physical Education to join our dedicated and successful PE department. The successful candidate will play a key role in the planning and delivery of high-quality PE lessons and contribute to our extensive extra-curricular sports programme.

This post is subject to a Genuine Occupational Requirement (GOR) that the post holder is female, as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010. This is because the role involves:

Providing personal care, supervision, and instruction to female pupils in situations where they are likely to be in a state of undress or using single sex changing facilities and showers.

The requirement for the pupils to be taught by a female teacher in these specific circumstances is a proportionate means of achieving the legitimate aim of preserving the privacy, dignity, and welfare of our female students.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach core PE at Key Stages 3 and 4 leading to examined courses at  GCSE and BTEC level.
