About you:

Are you passionate about using sport to inspire young people and help them unlock their potential? Join our team and make a real difference in the lives of learners who need it most. Many of our students arrive after facing challenges in traditional education settings, often feeling disengaged and in need of support. As a teacher with us, you’ll have the unique opportunity to help build their confidence, nurture their resilience, and empower them to succeed—not just in the classroom but in life.

We’re looking for committed professionals who are eager to grow as trauma-informed practitioners. Here, you’ll have the freedom to tailor your teaching approach to the unique needs of each learner, creating an environment where they feel valued and understood. This role is perfect for someone who believes in the power of sport as a vehicle for positive change and wants to help young people thrive.

If you’re ready to bring your passion, creativity, and dedication to a role where you’ll truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Join us and inspire a generation.
