All candidates should make sure to read the following job description and information carefully before applying.
As a Sports Technician, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the department. This includes providing both technical and administrative assistance, supporting PE lessons and contributing to the delivery of fixtures and co-curricular activities. The role also involves coordinating school sports fixtures, arranging transportation, assisting with the organisation of events and carrying out a range of general administrative duties. In addition to this, there will be opportunities to support coaching sessions and officiate matches where appropriate.
Sport plays a central role in school life, with a wide variety of clubs and training sessions taking place before and after school, during lunchtimes and occasionally at weekends.
