Teacher (Rowing Specialism)

This an exciting opportunity for a well-qualified teacher to play a key role within Emanuel School's rowing programme and as a member of our teaching community. 

You will seek to challenge, engage and inspire our pupils to achieve their full potential in both rowing and an academic subject. You will also undertake a pastoral role (as a form tutor, or as a co-tutor if an ECT) and will get involved in co-curricular activities and outreach programmes. 

In addition to your teaching and pastoral responsibilities, you will also lead and support a rowing age group, appropriate to your level of expertise. A commitment to attending Saturday training sessions during term time and training camps during the holidays will be expected.

We are looking for a teacher who can combine a passion for rowing and an understanding of working within a school rowing programme, with good subject knowledge and the ability to teach an academic subject. You will possess a specialist sports and/or relevant British Rowing coaching qualification, as well as an RYA Powerboat Qualification. You will provide a proven track record of excellent teaching at a secondary level, along with previous experience of leading a rowing squad.

Working at Emanuel

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school. 

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims. 

We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
