Are you a teacher who sees sport and the outdoors as powerful tools for growth, confidence, and connection? At Red Kite School, we’re searching for a PE / Outdoor Education Teacher who’s ready to go beyond the classroom — to inspire young people through movement, adventure, and exploration.

This is your chance to combine your love for physical education with your passion for outdoor learning, helping pupils with diverse and complex needs to discover their strengths, build resilience, and thrive in every aspect of life.

About the Role

No two days will be the same. One day you’ll be leading a high-energy PE session, the next you’ll be outdoors — teaching teamwork on the trail, resilience on the climbing wall, or leadership around the campfire.

You’ll deliver creative, inclusive lessons that ignite confidence and enthusiasm, helping pupils build physical ability and life skills that last a lifetime.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver inspiring, differentiated PE and Outdoor Education sessions that engage every learner
• Plan and teach lessons that support individual EHCPs and learning goals

• Track progress and celebrate success, helping each pupil recognise their achievements
• Act as a tutor, leading PSHE and SMSC sessions to develop pupils’ personal and social growth
• Work collaboratively with support staff, therapists, and teachers to deliver holistic education
• Create a safe, supportive, and motivating environment where pupils can take risks and grow
• Lead and participate in school events, trips, and enrichment activities that make learning unforgettable

Who We’re Looking For
We’re after someone who brings energy, empathy, and creativity to every lesson — a teacher who can inspire confidence and joy in every student.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent — you’re a confident, capable educator ready to inspire.
• Experience delivering PE and/or Outdoor Education that gets every pupil moving, motivated, and involved.
• A proven ability to engage and connect with pupils who have diverse and complex needs.
• Strong behaviour management and the knack for building trusting, positive relationships.
• A Full UK Driving Licence — and the enthusiasm to lead exciting off-site adventures.
• A genuine passion for transforming lives and helping young people unlock their full potential.

Join Red Kite School and help us inspire young people to achieve their potential through active, engaging, and transformative learning experiences.
