About the Role

At Reddish Hall School, we believe that physical education is about far more than fitness-it's about building confidence, resilience, teamwork and self-belief. We are looking for a passionate and motivated PE Teacher to join our dedicated team and make a lasting difference to the lives of young people aged 11-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and additional SEND.

This is a unique opportunity to deliver an engaging, inclusive PE curriculum that encourages every pupil to achieve success, develop healthy lifestyles and experience the positive impact of physical activity in a safe and supportive environment.

As our PE Teacher, you'll plan and deliver high-quality PE lessons that are creative, accessible and tailored to meet the individual needs of our pupils. You'll create positive learning experiences that help young people develop physically, socially and emotionally while building their confidence and resilience.

What you will be doing

• Deliver engaging and differentiated PE lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4.
• Adapt learning to meet a wide range of SEMH and SEND needs.
• Foster teamwork, resilience, confidence and positive attitudes towards physical activity.
• Assess, monitor and celebrate pupil progress, supporting accreditation where appropriate.
• Safely transport pupils to and from off-site PE facilities, following safeguarding, behaviour and health & safety procedures.
• Build positive relationships using trauma-informed and relational approaches.
• Contribute to enrichment opportunities, sporting activities and the wider life of the school.

What you will bring

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), PGCE or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification required.
• Experience teaching PE in a secondary setting or the confidence and ability to teach pupils aged 11-16.
• Excellent subject knowledge and a creative approach to delivering inclusive PE lessons.
• Strong behaviour management skills and a calm, resilient approach.
• A good understanding of SEMH and additional SEND, or a genuine passion for supporting young people with additional needs.
• Driving licence required and the willingness to transport pupils as part of the role.
