Part time position based at Goldwyn School, Parkfield Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 5BY.  A full time position is available for candidates who can offer a second subject.

Goldwyn School is seeking to appoint an innovative, highly motivated and flexible Teacher who is passionate about pupil engagement and progression to teach PE in Key Stage 3 and 4. A full time position is available for candidates who can offer a second subject.

This is an exciting opportunity for a confident and motivated teacher with strong subject knowledge and a passion for making a difference to students who are likely to have experienced little previous success within a school environment.  Goldwyn students are of mixed and high ability (NC level 3-4 on entry) and as such are capable of achieving GCSE and other Level 2 qualifications in Year 11.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working with students whose primary needs are SEMH and Autism and be able to work positively within our team to ensure that the delivery of PE across the school is purposeful and appropriate to the needs of our students.

We are an outstanding school (Ofsted 2022) and continually strives to enhance our practice; as such, we are ever keen to employ candidates who have a range of professional experiences and can offer, not only quality teaching, but something ‘different’.

We welcome applications from qualified teachers at any stage of their career, from mainstream primary or special education as well as from ECTs.

Visits to our school are warmly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact Barry McGinn, Head of School: Barry.mcginn@goldwyn.kent.sch.uk 

Closing Date:  7 May 2025                                        

Applications will be considered in the order in which they are received. Goldwyn School reserves the right to interview at any point during the recruitment process and early applications are encouraged.
