Teacher of Physical Education

Job details

Required from September 2025

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of Physical Education to join our enthusiastic, dedicated and supportive department. The current PE department work closely together to drive a culture and ethos within the subject where teachers are committed to instilling a love of sports and physical activity and providing positive experiences for all our students. Our PE curriculum provision allows students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of different sports, as well as provide extra-curricular experiences through various clubs and fixtures. We want the successful candidate to help develop these areas further, therefore expertise in sports such as netball, hockey or dance would be advantageous. The successful candidate must also be able to teach GCSE PE or BTEC sport, whilst the ability to teach A Level PE and/or a second subject would be useful but not essential.

We are committed to developing our staff through first class induction and high-quality professional development.  As a result, a large proportion of JMHS staff have achieved promotion to middle and senior leadership positions.   

John Masefield was recognised by OFSTED in November 2022 as a good school, providing a rich and diverse curriculum. The inspection found that staff showed a genuine desire for students to be safe and happy, and that the school provided high-quality pastoral care for students, especially for those who are vulnerable. The report noted that students behave well and relationships are good at John Masefield.

JMHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service enhanced check and further pre-employment checks will be conducted in accordance with KCSIE. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. All shortlisted candidates will be subject to an on-line Google search.
