Do you have a passion for sport and want to gain experience in PE and school or disability sport?
If so, we have an exciting opportunity to teach sports at Valence. You will plan and deliver appropriate adapted and modified PE lessons to our disabled students. You must have a genuine passion for sports coaching and PE, and demonstrate a continuing involvement in sport.

Valence School is a KCC Foundation Special School with residential facilities for children and young people with physical disabilities, complex medical needs and associated learning and communication difficulties. We are part of the Kent Special Educational Needs Trust.
Experience of working with SEND students is desirable, however what is more important is an aspiration to support disabled students to achieve. We offer a collaborative and friendly staff environment in a campus school setting where you will have the chance to make a real and positive impact on the lives of Valence students.
