Welcome to Educational & Sporting Futures

Educational & Sporting Futures is an award-winning national training provider specialising in Education and Childcare Apprenticeships.

Part of The Real Group, ESF has been rated Strong across all areas by Ofsted, reflecting our commitment to high-quality teaching, positive learner experiences and meaningful professional development.

Our team is largely made up of experienced teachers and education professionals who understand the realities of working in schools.

We care deeply about developing people, supporting employers and helping apprentices build rewarding careers that create a lasting impact.

ESF is also experiencing significant growth. In recent years, the organisation has grown from supporting approximately 200 apprentices at any one time to more than 500, with ambitious plans to continue expanding its reach and impact.

The Opportunity

This is a substantial middle-leadership role for an experienced PE teacher who wants to step beyond day-to-day classroom teaching while continuing to shape the future of education.

You will take responsibility for the quality, development and delivery of ESF s Physical Education apprenticeship programmes.

The role combines:

• Curriculum leadership

• Apprenticeship delivery

• Tutor coaching and mentoring

• Quality assurance

• Stakeholder management

• Programme development

• Operational leadership

You will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team and act as a key link between ESF s central office, tutors, apprentices, schools, employers and regional delivery partners.

Alongside delivering elements of the programme yourself, you will lead and support the tutors and partner organisations delivering PE apprenticeships across the country.

Where You ll Make an Impact

ESF s PE provision is delivered through a combination of internal tutors, freelance specialists and regional hub partners.

Current hub locations include:

• Sedgefield, County Durham

• Liverpool

• Enfield

• Canvey Island, Essex

You will help ensure that delivery remains consistent, engaging and high quality across every location.

As the PE apprenticeship offer continues to grow, you will also support the development of an expanding freelance tutor network.

You will become one of the key pillars of the organisation: someone who can translate the strategic direction of the Senior Leadership Team into effective, high-quality curriculum delivery across the wider tutor and partner network.

About You

You will be an experienced Physical Education teacher who enjoys helping others develop and is ready for a broader professional challenge.

You may already have experience in apprenticeships, teacher training, curriculum leadership or professional development.

Alternatively, you may be a highly capable PE teacher or Head of PE who is looking to make a first move into the training-provider sector.

What matters most is that you understand high-quality Physical Education, can develop other professionals and are confident in taking ownership of a growing curriculum area.

Essential Experience

You will need:

• Qualified Teacher Status, QTS, QTLS…
