Live for the buzz of a match day? Love seeing confidence grow, not just fitness levels?
We’re working with a well-regarded secondary school in Macclesfield looking for an energetic and committed PE Teacher to join their team this September. It’s a school where sport is valued, participation is high, and the PE department plays a big role in school life.
If you’re someone who can inspire teamwork, build resilience, and get students properly involved, whether that’s on the pitch, in the sports hall, or out on the field, this could be a great fit.
What you’ll be doing
* Teaching PE across KS3 and KS4, with KS5 available for the right candidate
* Delivering engaging practical and theory-based lessons
* Promoting teamwork, leadership, and healthy lifestyles
* Supporting extracurricular clubs, fixtures, and school sport events
* Encouraging participation from all abilities, not just the obvious athletes
What the school offers
* A supportive SLT who value sport and enrichment
* Strong facilities and established schemes of work
* Clear behaviour systems that allow you to focus on teaching
* Opportunities to lead clubs, teams, and potentially take on responsibility within the department
What we’re looking for
* UK QTS
* Experience teaching PE at secondary level
* Confident behaviour management in both indoor and outdoor settings
* A passion for sport and student development that pupils can feel
Early Career Teachers are very welcome. Your first role should build your confidence, not leave you shouting into the wind on a rainy Tuesday. You’ll have mentoring, structure, and a team around you from day one.
