School PE Teacher - Male

Job overview

The Arbor School seeks a special individual for an exciting opportunity within our school. The successful candidate will play a key role in fulfilling the school's ecological and sustainability vision, while inspiring students to develop a lifelong passion for physical education, sport and healthy living.

The Arbor School is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Whole School PE Teacher (Male) to deliver high-quality Physical Education across Primary and Secondary School, while contributing to the development of our wider sporting programme.

We are looking for an experienced and dedicated teacher with a genuine passion for Physical Education, student wellbeing and sporting excellence. The successful applicant will demonstrate a proven ability to engage students of all ages and abilities, promote participation and teamwork, and inspire students to achieve their full potential both within and beyond the classroom.

The successful candidate will also play an active role in coaching school sports teams, organising fixtures, tournaments and sporting events, and contributing positively to the wider school community.

The Arbor School opened in 2018 with a very different vision of what education could and should be – experiential, authentic and inspired by the natural beauty, human ingenuity, and profound ecological and social challenges of the Arabian Peninsula.

The cultivation of a learning community uniquely committed to understanding and restoring the health of ecological and human communities as interconnected parts of a whole requires equal parts optimism, ambition, and humility. A fundamental belief in the inherent goodness of people and their capacity to act with empathy and compassion underscores the sense of hope that is fundamental to learning for a sustainable future.

The resilience and determination to tackle challenges that have grown to global proportions are essential to finding sustainable solutions and orchestrating the social changes needed to grow them to scale. The realisation that comes from recognising that we are all students – never a master – drives our commitment to ignite a lifelong love of learning.

Recognising the interconnected nature of the cognitive, affective, and participative domains, and their roles in shaping learning, we are pursuing a holistic approach to teaching and learning, designed to prepare learners:

• To understand the interconnected concepts of sustainability, individual and collective well-being, and environmental and social justice.
• To find purpose, meaning and joy in their interactions with the natural world and with each other, and to seek to understand people who are different from themselves.
• To experience a sense of accomplishment and self-efficacy through their actions at home, in school and in the wider world.

Arbor teachers are part of a community which is inclusive, fun-loving, and active. Arbor teachers enjoy authentic friendships with their colleagues, positive relationships with school leaders who care for their wellbeing, and are a team in the true sense.

Arbor teachers are resilient in the face of challenge, stable and calm in the face of change, and creative and flexible when solving problems. Arbor teachers bring their passions and interests to enrich our school and are clear that there is an expectation to do so.

We commit to meeting agreed deadlines, communicating proactively with an assumption of positive intent, and sharing a passion for providing an education of the highest quality to our students.
