Job Description
Sports Teaching Assistant - Newham
We're looking for Sports TAs who understand that for some students, the pitch is the only place they feel confident. The court is where they regulate. The game is where they learn resilience.
Primary and secondary schools across Newham need energetic, grounded and inspiring Sports Teaching Assistants.
Your role:
Deliver and support PE lessons.
Run structured lunchtime and after-school activities.
Use sport to engage disengaged learners.
Support behaviour management through movement.
Mentor students who respond better to action than instruction.
Ideal background:
Sports coaching
Youth work
Personal training
Team leadership
Or simply someone with presence and passion
What makes this different:
You're not just supervising - you're mentoring.
You'll work closely with pastoral and SEN teams.
You'll help students who struggle in class find success elsewhere.
You'll be part of schools that understand physical activity supports mental health.
If you've seen what sport can do for confidence, discipline and belonging - we want to hear from you
