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. 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.

The Sports Coach 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. An interest or experience of coaching football and/or netball would also be an advantage.

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.

The current working hours will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday; 12pm-6pm. Wednesday 10.30am-5.30pm, Friday 1pm-4pm and Saturday 8am-1pm. Ad hoc Sunday work may be required and paid at an overtime rate.

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/
