About the Post
We have an exciting opportunity for someone who has a passion for coaching and leading sport in a school that prides itself on its commitment to offer the very best P.E, sports and extra-curricular activities it can.
We are looking to appoint a flexible and enthusiastic Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join our expert team of educators in this 7 – 11 Junior School.

(training is available for this)

This post is particularly well-suited to a candidate who has undertaken teacher training or is considering career development towards becoming a qualified teacher, and this has been the case for two previous holders of this post. The successful candidate will work closely with the Trust’s School Games Organiser & Partnership Manager who will provide mentoring/coaching and a wide range of training courses and CPD opportunities.
The successful applicant will be expected to teach PE/Games lessons during 5 afternoons a week between 1.00 and 3.05pm. Normally at least two classes would be timetabled at the same time so that there would be at least one other teacher involved in the same session.

The remaining hours of the role will consist of PPA, delivering after school clubs, delivering sensory circuits or supporting sporting fixtures (on occasions these can continue until approximately 5.30pm).
The school has a strong commitment to extra-curricular sport, including competitive fixtures. The school provides a wide range of after school sporting activities, run either by our own staff (teachers or teaching assistants) or by outside providers. These normally take place between 12.10 and 12.55 or between 3.05 and 4.15pm. The PE subject leader and Sport HLTA will co-ordinate this offer.
