Thank you for expressing an interest in this key vacancy at our college.

Over the last six years we have been on a journey to try and make this school not only one of the best schools for children to attend but also one of the best schools to work in as a member of staff. That is extremely rare and we urge you to come and see us in action, speak to the staff and speak to the students. Every decision that we take is done with a lot of thought and consideration and we put well-being at the centre, so that teachers can teach and students can learn.

The School now seeks to appoint an exceptional PE Technician to work alongside our PE Faculty. This is an exciting position within the PE faculty with opportunities to support in curriculum lessons and lead extra-curricular activities alongside the technician responsibilities as outlined in the job description. Crown Hills is committed to supporting our pupils to be competent, confident movers, and we have a large PE team of 11 staff. The PE curriculum provides pupils with wide-ranging opportunities to develop a love of movement, including cycling, fencing, fitness activities, and team games. Various CPD opportunities will be available to support the post-holder in their work as a technician and their delivery of sport and physical activity sessions. We are also the lead school for Inspire Together (formerly SSPAN). This is made up of 127 schools across Leicester and the aim is to go beyond school sport, and to have a positive impact on the young people in Leicester, their families and their communities.

The Technician role will suit those who are highly organised and have a sporting background in either playing or coaching. We welcome applicants from a coaching or education background, or those looking for their first role in the sector. Outstanding communication skills and the personal authority to build strong relationships with pupils, staff, and parents is essential, as is a deep commitment to the school’s aims and values. This role could suit professionals looking to go into the teaching or coaching profession in the future.

This post is term-time and permanent and as a member of staff at Crown Hills Community College you will receive a number of other benefits. These include a work laptop, continuing professional development, health insurance, no emails at the weekend or after 8pm, administrative support, 24 hours a day/365 days a year phone counselling service, and access to a cycle to work scheme.

As Principal, it has always been my philosophy to grow and nurture new talent so that we create the next generation of leaders, it is something that I have done throughout my career, and this role will support the successful individual on their journey. If you have high aspirations for children from deprived backgrounds and experience of delivering excellence, we would like to hear from you.
