Teacher of Physical Education & Games (i/c Netball)

We are looking for a dynamic, energetic and inspiring Teacher of PE and Games to join our thriving, highly successful and forward-thinking Department.

This is a maternity cover for up to one year starting on 6 January 2025 and the successful candidate will have particular responsibility for netball, leading our netball programme, overseeing all aspects of coaching, team development, and administration.

The successful candidate should have a real love for sport and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.

This particular post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their teaching career (e.g. an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession (we have a full training and induction programme in place).

To find out more about the role, full details can be found in the job description on our website. And to find out more about Alleyn's and the superb facilities, resources and benefits that staff have access to, please have a look at the 'Working at Alleyn's' brochure.

We have our own very competitive salary scale which takes account of experience and the nature of the role, and accommodation may be available.
