Our PE department implements a wide-ranging and specialised PE program across the school and we are seeking to appoint a highly skilled and enthusiastic PE and School Sport Specialist to join our team.

We understand how important PE, School Sport and Physical Activity is for our pupils, both in terms of physical development and the life lessons that it provides and the right candidate will have the motivation and energy that it takes to inspire and enthuse our pupils.

This role will primarily involve delivering PE lessons across our inclusive primary school as well as coaching before and after school sports clubs. Providing a range of active play options during playtimes and lunchtimes will also be required.

The post is for 37 hours per week (Monday to Friday), 40 weeks per year (term time, INSETs, one week in the school holidays). Flexibility will be required as some sporting fixtures and events may fall outside core working hours, and will be paid as overtime. The pay scale is Kent Range 6 (£23,801 for a full-time post), which equates to approximately £21,184 pro rata per annum for this role.

Verification of qualifications will be required before employment can commence so please do not declare any qualifications unless you can produce the original certificate. 

A formal interview will take place with a panel comprising of members of the Senior Leadership Team and will last approximately thirty minutes. Candidates will also be expected to provide a thirty minute PE activity to a group of mixed ability Key Stage 2 children.

CVs will not be accepted so please complete the application form in full and explain how your skills and experience make you a suitable candidate for the role.

GPSN is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our Safeguarding Policy is available on the school website.
