Are you looking to advance your career in a school that values integrity and community engagement? At Thirsk School and Sixth Form College, we are proud of our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
We invite applications for a Teacher of PE. The successful candidate will make a significant contribution to our busy and thriving PE department, primarily as a teacher of boys’ PE.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and talented educator who can ignite a passion for learning in our students. You will thrive in a collaborative atmosphere, where you will have the support to enhance your teaching practice in a positive environment. Although the successful candidate will be expected to be versatile, they should be able to make a significant contribution in rugby and/or hockey.
This role includes form tutor responsibilities, allowing you to build meaningful relationships with a designated group of students. You will be part of a friendly team that values your contributions and fosters professional growth.
We are dedicated to your career development through a tailored CPD programme, including opportunities for classroom observations and peer learning.
Our ambitious school is based in the easily accessible market town of Thirsk (recently declared one of the best places to live in England) which lies very close to the A1(M), A19 and mainline rail links, between two beautiful National Parks.
Closing date for applications is 9 am on Wednesday 13th May, with interviews to take place shortly thereafter.
Prospective candidates are welcome to visit the school prior to the application deadline. Please contact school using the details below if you wish to arrange a visit.
Further details of the school, the post and a downloadable application form are available from our website: www.thirskschool.org
Completed application forms should be returned to andrew.rickard@thirskschool.org
Please note that CVs will not be accepted.
Thirsk School and Sixth Form College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and young people. We have a robust Child Protection Policy, and all staff will receive training relevant to their role at induction and throughout employment at the school. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service criminal records check for work with children and approved references.
