Love sport? Got classroom confidence? We’ve got a role that lets you bring both to the table.

We’re working with a brilliant secondary school in Wakefield that’s on the lookout for a reliable, energetic female PE cover specialist. You’ll lead PE lessons, cover across subjects when needed, and be that steady presence students know they can count on.

The role includes:

• Delivering PE lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4

• Stepping in for general cover across other subjects when needed

• Leading by example, modelling teamwork, discipline, and positivity

You’ll need:

• A background in PE, QTS, a sports degree, or coaching experience with young people

• Strong classroom management and flexibility

• A confident, proactive approach (you won’t always be covering sport!)

• A passion for engaging teenagers and helping them succeed in and out of class

What you’ll get from Teaching Personnel:

• Weekly pay (PAYE only – no umbrella companies)

• A friendly, local consultant who gets your strengths and finds roles to match

• FREE CPD, including classroom management tips and Thrive training

• Access to long-term and short-term opportunities as they arise
