About the job
Barcelona is a city known for its art, architecture and sunshine. The capital of Catalonia is a Mediterranean city with Roman remains, medieval quarters and the most beautiful examples of 20th century Modernism. Castelldefels, where the school is located, has more than five kilometres worth of fine beaches and is only a few kilometres away from Barcelona and its international airport.
The British School of Barcelona seeks to appoint an outstanding teacher of Physical Education for September 2018. An exciting opportunity to join a highly successful department in a leading international school, the post would suit a recently qualified or experienced teacher with energy, enthusiasm and a desire to work in a dynamic environment.
This is an opportunity to join a thriving department to teach both core and examined PE. The post will suit a high-calibre graduate, with the enthusiasm, energy and commitment to really support, stretch and encourage their pupils. The school is also rapidly expanding its extra-curricular sporting provision and a willingness and to commit to this is a requisite of the post.
Results at all levels are consistently strong. The PE department offers IGCSE, A level and IB qualifications and experience of teaching some or all of the above would be an advantage.
