Are you flexible, driven and ready for a new challenge?

We are looking to offer a full -time permanent contract for an inspiring teacher and leader to join our academy as Head of Physical Education. This is a new role and will include a teaching timetable of physical activity for KS3 and KS4 at our secondary Chesterfield sites. You will take responsibility for producing a new curriculum for PE with the purpose of engaging our pupils in an innovative and relevant offer of physical activity whilst promoting healthy living and positive wellbeing. Consideration must be made for our lack of facilities and space at each site. We must have an equal offer and the same curriculum at each of the 3 secondary sites. You will have overall responsibility for the quality of delivery of PE across the 3 secondary sites. There is currently no physical education curriculum in place and therefore you will have scope to produce this using your own creativity to meet our pupils needs. You will be able to explore possible qualifications for our pupils considering when they come to roll at the point of permanent exclusion.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our pupils and have innovative ideas for engagement in physical activity. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.

**Benefits Include**:

- Teacher's Pension Scheme (16.6% employer contributions)
- Access to Westfield Health membership scheme including cashback schemes for health and retail benefits, discounted gym memberships, and free confidential advice.
- Access to National College CPD platform.
