Location:

Contract:

Supply — Full first term, Monday to Friday, with potential scope to extend

Start:

September 2026

A well-regarded secondary school in Chelmsford is looking for a strong PE specialist to cover a full-time supply booking for the first term, Monday to Friday. This is a genuine PE role — we're looking for a qualified teacher who has actually taught PE, holds relevant qualifications and is confident delivering high-quality PE lessons.

The booking covers a mix of subjects day-to-day across the week, but PE cover is required every other week around sporting fixtures, so real PE teaching experience is essential — not simply a willingness to step in.

This is a school that sets a high bar. If you're the right fit, there is a strong chance the booking will be kept on, with potential scope to extend beyond the first term.

Essential requirements:

• Full QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).
• Genuine, demonstrable experience teaching PE, with relevant qualifications.
• Confident delivering PE lessons to a high standard, plus mixed-subject cover across the week.
• Strong classroom presence and behaviour management.
• Available full-time, Monday to Friday, for the full first term.

Compliance:

• Full enhanced DBS and pre-engagement compliance checks apply in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.

What you'll get:

• A full first-term booking with potential to extend.
• Paid weekly through PAYE.
• A dedicated First Call Employment consultant managing your placement.
