Teacher of Physical Education
Location: Leeds
Salary: MPS/UPS (dependent on experience)
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Start Date: As soon as possible
Ready to get students moving, thinking, and thriving?
We’re working with a welcoming secondary school in Leeds that’s looking for a PE teacher who brings energy to the pitch and calm confidence to the classroom.
This isn’t a “tick-the-box” department. It’s a team that genuinely cares about sport, wellbeing, and giving every student a chance to find their thing, whether that’s football on a muddy field or building confidence in a PE lesson they used to dread.
If you’re the kind of teacher who can turn a cold Tuesday afternoon into something students actually look forward to, you’ll fit right in.
What the role looks like day to day
-
Teaching Physical Education across Key Stages 3 and 4
-
Delivering engaging, inclusive lessons that get all students involved
-
Supporting extracurricular sport, clubs, and fixtures (with proper backing from the school)
-
Building strong relationships, on the field, in the sports hall, and in the classroom
-
Working with a supportive department that shares ideas, not just workload
What the school offers
-
A well-established PE department with a strong team spirit
-
Students who enjoy sport and respond well to positive, consistent teaching
-
Leadership that trusts teachers to teach, no unnecessary micromanaging
-
Facilities that allow you to deliver varied and engaging lessons
-
A culture that values wellbeing, for staff as well as students
We’re looking for someone who…
-
Holds UK QTS (or equivalent recognised teaching qualification)
-
Has experience teaching PE in a secondary setting
-
Can manage a class with confidence and consistency
-
Brings energy, but also knows when calm structure is needed
-
Believes PE is about more than sport, it’s about confidence, teamwork, and resilience
Safeguarding Statement
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff are expected to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references will be required.
Why this role stands out
There are plenty of PE jobs out there.
This one feels different.
You’ll be joining a school where PE matters, where students are encouraged to get involved, and where staff actually support each other when the day gets busy.
No gimmicks. No empty promises. Just a solid role in a school that gets it.
If you’re ready to step into a role where you can make an impact straight away, we’d love to hear from you.
