Adaptability: You can think on your feet when a lesson plan or an activity changes unexpectedly. Energy & Presence: You bring a positive, proactive attitude that motivates students to participate. Key Responsibilities Lead and supervise classes of secondary school students (Ages 11-16) when the regular teacher is absent. Deliver pre-set learning materials, ensuring students stay on task, work safely, and behave respectfully. Utilise your coaching background to assist in PE departments, lunchtime sports clubs, or after-school enrichment programs where needed. Manage classroom behaviour effectively using the school's established positive points and boundary systems. Act as a relatable, motivating role model, helping students build confidence and resilience. What We Are Looking For Background: Proven experience leading youth groups or sports teams (e.g., Football Coach, Scout/Guide Leader, Swim Coach, Dance/Drama Teacher, Martial Arts Instructor, or Camp Counsellor). Character: Outgoing, highly confident, resilient, and thick-skinned. You must be comfortable managing groups of up to 30 teenagers.

Compliance: An enhanced DBS check registered to the online Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one with our help). What We Offer Strong Earnings: A guaranteed income of over £2,000 a month before tax, paid via transparent, premium daily rates. Perfect Balance: Term-time only working hours. Your weekends, evenings, and all school holidays (Christmas, Easter, Summer) are entirely your own.
