Looking for a long-term opportunity within a supportive and well-resourced secondary school?

TeacherActive is working in partnership with a welcoming secondary school in Bristol to recruit a dedicated and enthusiastic Early Careers Teacher with a P.E. specialism for a full-time role starting in September 2025.

This role is particularly well-suited to an ECT with a P.E. specialism, or a PGCE graduate seeking a school that values energy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to whole-student development.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A UK-recognised teaching qualification (QTS or working towards QTS)

  • A P.E. specialism (Primary or Secondary PGCEs with a strong focus on Physical Education welcome)

  • A genuine passion for sport, fitness, and promoting active lifestyles

  • Excellent behaviour management and lesson planning skills

  • A proactive, reflective, and positive approach to teaching and learning

What You’ll Get:

  • A full-time, long-term teaching role in a supportive Bristol secondary school

  • Competitive daily rate of £145–£165 (paid weekly via PAYE)

  • Personalised support from a dedicated education consultant

  • Free CPD opportunities via the My-Progression platform

  • Career development opportunities within the P.E. department

  • A school community that encourages innovation, collaboration, and student engagement

If you're an Early Careers Teacher with a P.E. specialism, ready to make an impact in your first full-time teaching role, we’d love to hear from you!
