Job Description

SECAT and The Southend East School Sport Partnership (SESSP), based at Shoeburyness High School in Southend-on-Sea, work with 52 schools in Southend to develop physical education, physical activity and school sport. We deliver a wide range of programmes to develop schools in line with the School Games and the Primary Sports Premium Funding through Teacher Training, school sports coaching, competition and events.

Due to the increase in our provision across the Borough we are seeking some additional highly skilled and motivated staff members to join our team. It is a great opportunity to get into a teaching route, with many previous staff already gone on to be fully qualified PE teachers and even headteachers!
