Location: Salford

Are you a passionate PE teacher or sports coach with a commitment to supporting young people’s social, emotional, and mental health? Do you believe in the power of sports to foster resilience, build social skills, and promote personal growth? If so, we would love to have you join our team

We are seeking a dedicated SEMH PE Teacher/Sports Coach to work within an alternative provision focused on helping secondary-aged students with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) challenges. You will use sports and physical education to engage students, helping them develop confidence, manage emotions, and cultivate positive relationships in a non-mainstream, therapeutic environment.

Role and Responsibilities:

In this role, you’ll lead tailored physical education and sports programs to support students’ personal development and emotional well-being. Responsibilities include:

  • Designing and delivering engaging sports and PE sessions that cater to the unique needs of students with SEMH challenges.
  • Building trust-based relationships with students to support their social and emotional growth through structured physical activities.
  • Using sports as a platform to teach valuable skills such as teamwork, resilience, and self-discipline.
  • Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and other support staff to integrate physical education into students’ individualized support plans.
  • Managing challenging behaviors with a calm and supportive approach, fostering a positive and safe environment.
  • Acting as a role model and mentor, encouraging healthy habits and an active lifestyle.
  • Creating opportunities for students to experience success, build self-esteem, and develop positive peer relationships through team-based sports.
About You:

We are looking for someone with:

  • A strong passion for sports and a commitment to supporting students’ mental health and personal development.
  • Experience teaching PE or coaching sports, ideally with a focus on children or young people with SEMH needs or within alternative provision settings.
  • Skills in adapting physical activities to be accessible, inclusive, and focused on fostering positive social interactions.
  • A patient, empathetic approach with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build rapport with students.
  • Understanding of trauma-informed approaches and experience with positive behavior management or de-escalation techniques is a plus.
  • Relevant qualifications in Physical Education, Sports Coaching, or Youth Work, as well as knowledge of SEMH practices, are desirable.
Why Join Us?
  • Become part of a supportive, multi-disciplinary team dedicated to the growth and well-being of young people.
  • Access ongoing training and development in SEMH-focused approaches and sports-based mentoring.
  • Work in a flexible, dynamic environment where your passion for sports and mental health makes a tangible impact.
  • Play a key role in helping students overcome challenges, achieve personal goals, and build a positive self-image.
