What can a PE teacher expect in Loughborough?

Few towns are as closely linked to sport as Loughborough. The university is one of the world's leading sports universities and hosts national training centres, so many students grow up around elite athletes, coaches and sports science.

PE departments at schools such as Charnwood College, De Lisle College, Rawlins and Iveshead teach core PE to every year group, and run GCSE PE, A level PE and vocational sport courses. Loughborough College also has a strong sport and public services offer at 16.

Schools look for PE teachers who can run fixtures and clubs, teach the theory side of GCSE and A level confidently, and make PE enjoyable for students who are less sporty, including those with SEND.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach core PE lessons across KS3 and KS4
• Teach GCSE PE, A level PE or vocational sport where needed
• Run clubs, fixtures and inter-school competitions
• Teach anatomy, physiology and sports psychology clearly
• Adapt activities so every student can take part
• Keep students safe in practical lessons

Who we're looking for

• Qualified teachers (QTS or QTLS) with a PE specialism
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
• Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
• Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
• Sports science graduates with QTS
