The Lion Works School is a specialist setting that meets the needs of secondary age students who are all individuals, have a range of interests, have talents and also happen to have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition or a need which presents similarly.
We are looking to appoint a PE & Adventure Lead. This is a new post that has been created as The Lion Works School recognizes that outdoor education offers unique opportunities and experiences that cannot be taught in the classroom.
As PE & Adventure Lead, you'll be an experienced teacher with a passion for supporting pupils with special educational needs. Working closely with the headteacher and other senior colleagues, you'll use your knowledge of the outdoor and physical education curriculum to develop and lead a bespoke Adventure Curriculum for The Lion Works School.
Your responsibilities will include designing and delivering the new curriculum and implementing it as a whole school strategy. You will also have 0.6 teaching duties which will be PE, Games and outdoor learning.
The successful candidate should have effective knowledge and experience of classroom teaching and excellent knowledge of SEND and inclusion. You will have a passion for physical education and a thirst for adventure! You may have additional outdoor education qualifications, such as water sports, climbing or similar.

We comply with the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) code of practice and have a written policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders, both of which are available on request. If you are shortlisted, you will be required to declare any relevant convictions, adult cautions or other matters which may affect your suitability to work with children. As a result of amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions order 1975) in 2013 and 2020, some minor offences are now protected (filtered) and should not be disclosed to potential employers, and employers cannot take these offences into account.
