SEMH P.E. Teacher: Peterborough and Surrounding Areas
Are you a passionate Physical Education Teacher who believes in the power of sport to transform lives, build confidence, and support emotional well-being? Whether you thrive on the complete flexibility of day-to-day supply or prefer the deep impact of a long-term placement, we have rewarding opportunities tailored to your lifestyle.
We are currently partnering with specialised SEN schools, alternative provisions, and SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) academies in Peterborough and the surrounding Cambridgeshire borders. We are seeking resilient, energetic, and empathetic P.E. Teachers who can use physical activity as a powerful tool for engagement, teamwork, and emotional regulation.
Whether you are an experienced specialist looking to transition from mainstream schools to a dedicated SEN environment, or a seasoned SEMH practitioner looking for a flexible schedule, we want to hear from you.
Find Your Ideal Way Of Working
Day-to-Day Cover: Take complete control of your schedule. Choose exactly which days you want to work to perfectly fit around your personal commitments, coaching schedules, or lifestyle. It is a fantastic way to experience different specialised settings.
Long-Term Opportunities: If you prefer stability, we have fixed-term roles spanning a term or a full academic year. This is the perfect way to truly embed yourself within a school team, develop consistent sports and outdoor learning programs, and build deep, trusting relationships with pupils who benefit most from continuity.
