Teacher of PE

Are you passionate about teaching Physical Education? Do you have the highest expectations of every member of the school community? Are you a values-driven teacher who models integrity and a commitment to inclusion? Can you inspire and influence young people's lives and promote the value of education?

If you can answer yes to these questions, we would love to hear from you.

Hodgson Academy is looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Teacher of PE to join our thriving department. You will be a professional who sets high expectations, fosters a safe and stimulating learning environment, and is committed to the personal and academic growth of every student.

Our department is a dynamic and forward thinking environment where learning goes beyond performance outcomes to develop confident, resilient, and engaged students. You will not simply be teaching to a specification - you'll be part of a team delivering a rich, varied curriculum designed to promote teamwork, foster a love of physical activity, and inspire lifelong participation in sport and health.

By joining us, you will play a key role in our academy's commitment to raising standards of attainment and ensuring students from all backgrounds are supported to achieve their full potential. We are proud of our supportive, close knit team culture, where collaboration is central, every voice is valued in planning discussions, and every success - no matter how small - is recognised and celebrated.

A day in your new role could see you:

• Delivering engaging and inspiring PE lessons and targeted support to develop students' physical skills and confidence
• Planning creative, high quality lessons and sharing resources and best practice with colleagues
• Using stretching and challenging activities to promote resilience, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of physical performance and health
• Planning enrichment activities and extra curricular opportunities that encourage participation in sport and physical activity
• Modelling the positive attitudes, values, and behaviour expected of students, including teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship

If this motivates you, apply today and help us coach the next generation to succeed.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse and inclusive community. We do not tolerate discrimination and welcome applications from all backgrounds. We provide equal access, services, and care regardless of age, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, trans status, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone. This includes a zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment of any kind. We believe that all individuals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and we are dedicated to creating a workplace and online community free from harassment, intimidation, and discrimination. We encourage open communication, provide clear reporting mechanisms for misconduct, and conduct thorough investigations. We expect everyone interacting with us to uphold these standards.

All staff will be carefully selected using recruitment and selection procedures designed to emphasize the college's commitment to safeguarding. All posts, including volunteers, are subject to enhanced DBS clearance. All shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a self declaration of any criminal record or information that will make them unsuitable to work with children. Any offer of employment may be withdrawn should any information come to light that has not been included in the self declaration. It is an offence to apply for a role if you are barred from regulated activity relevant to children; anyone caught doing so will be reported to the police immediately.
