Head of PE and Sport (whole school) - From August 2025

Dyatmika is an established school with an excellent reputation for academic success. The school opened in 1995, catering for students aged 3 to 18 years and is known as a leading school in Bali. Students leave Dyatmika well-equipped for further learning in the world’s top universities and in their lives beyond school. Dyatmika is a not-for-profit school meaning that all income is invested in the education of the students and developing the quality of the school’s facilities and resources. The School is a Cambridge-accredited international school with a beautiful campus overlooking rice fields and the ocean.

We are seeking an enthusiastic whole school Head of PE & Sport to lead our successful department from August 2025.

PE and Sports enjoys a high profile at Dyatmika School and we are proud of our strong sporting reputation. PE is considered an essential part of the curriculum and our sports teams compete in the Bali Schools Sports Association (BSSA) sports leagues and in local competitions against schools and clubs within Bali. 

Alongside overseeing PE and Sports across the whole school, the applicant will also be expected to teach PE lessons according to departmental needs, including IGCSE PE. They will be expected to:

• oversee PE and Sports throughout the school
• lead and line manage the staff within the department (including the newly formed Aquatics Department)
• coordinating with the ECA Coordinator for smooth team planning, ECAs, and staffing needs.
• maintain the high profile that PE enjoys in the school
• coordinate with other schools in Bali and beyond to organise well-planned fixtures, tournaments and sports tours.

• have a relevant degree and a full teaching qualification together with any sports specific coaching qualifications

• have experience of teaching academic PE at IGCSE (or similar)

• have experience of leading teaching and learning within in a sports department, including mentoring and developing teacher practice

• have a minimum of 5 years experience of relevant teaching experience (Indonesian immigration requirements)
• be less than 60 years young (as stipulated by Indonesian Immigration) at the end of a second contract. This is not how Dyatmika views the vast experience that teachers in this age bracket bring to teaching, but we are bound by regulations.

It would also be an advantage to have:

• experience of teaching A Level PE or equivalent
• experience of having overseen or taught swimming in a school setting
• experience teaching bi/multilingual students
