Are you a PE Teacher committed to improving the lives of children and young people?
We are looking for an experienced PE Teacher to join our fantastic team at Smallbrook School near Shrewsbury. As a PE Teacher, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises children’s achievement and ability to develop.
This is a great opportunity for a PE Teacher who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
When it comes to looking after our children, we never settle for second best. We are looking for a PE Teacher, experienced in teaching KS 3 and 4 and who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Educated to Degree Level/Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every child to reach their potential.
