CFS is looking to employ a PE teacher for classes in our Middle and Upper Schools, Years 5 to 11. 

Hours

The role is for 2 days per week on a permanent contract. The role could be combined with another part-time teaching role within the school.

About our school

Independent Sector, 170 to 200 pupils from 4 to 16.

CFS is a faith venture within a parent collaborative setting, where young people learn to consider the world and themselves in a Christ-centred way, and the next generation are actively discipled to equip them to serve society creatively and courageously. School families come from diverse ethnic and church backgrounds across the wider Merseyside region.

We see working at CFS as part of our Christian calling to serve the church through education. The salary structure is consequently reflected in this vision.

More about the role

Physical Education is a core part of the curriculum in both Middle and Upper School. The successful candidate will plan and deliver PE lessons across the relevant year groups, following the school’s established curriculum and schemes of work.

The teacher will support pupils in developing physical skills, teamwork, resilience, and a lifelong interest in sport and fitness. They will contribute to the planning and delivery of a broad and balanced PE programme that includes a variety of individual and team activities and extracurricular sports activities.
