 Fixed term / Part time (17 hours per week)

Self-employed

Required February 2025

STAHS is a vibrant school supported by a diverse and enthusiastic community of staff, pupils, parents, alumni and friends. It is important that our staff reflect the diversity of our community, and we therefore welcome and encourage applications from people of all genders and sexual orientation, those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic backgrounds, and those with disabilities.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our dynamic, forward-thinking and supportive Physical Education department on a self-employed basis. We aim to recruit an individual who would enjoy the opportunity to assist with the delivery of all areas of the Physical Education curriculum. We set high standards for teaching and learning and our students have very good levels of attainment and engagement.

Physical Education is taught throughout the Senior School, and we provide a wide range of activities for both participation and excellence. For further details please visit our website:  https://www.stahs.org.uk/senior-school/co-curriculum/sport/.

The Sports Coach (Lacrosse Specialism) will support the curricular and extra-curricular programme, including the school’s schedule of fixtures and activities during the week and at weekends. Whilst the individual appointed would not be expected to run a squad training session on their own, they must be prepared to plan, lead and deliver group activities within other training sessions they are assisting. Experience of coaching Lacrosse would be essential.

This role would suit an individual who has a passion for Physical Education or is looking to gain experience ahead of university or undertaking a PGCE.

This is a fixed-term position required from Monday 3 February 2025 to Friday 14 March 2025 (excluding half-term which is from 17 to 21 February). The current working hours will be Monday, Tuesday 4pm - 5.30pm, Wednesday 10.30am – 5.30pm, Thursday 2pm - 4pm, Saturday 8am - 1pm.
