Teacher of Physical Education

Amity International school, Abu Dhabi is looking to appoint a well-qualified,
enthusiastic and highly motivated Teacher of PE to teach throughout all key
stages. PE staff are expected to have a higher co-curricular sport commitment
for which there is timetable compensation. The ability to lead our Triathlon
and/or Rugby programme would be advantageous but not essential. This post is
for August ‎2023.
Both PE and Sport are popular and thriving at the school. Although the school
very much promotes participation over spectatorship and as a result, promotes
an inclusive sports provision, the school also has its own Elite Player
Pathway (EPP) programme that supports talented students who often compete at a
National or in some cases, International level. The school has many unrivalled
sports facilities. These include its own sailing and watersports centre, full-
size floodlit football pitch, tennis and netball courts, basketball courts,
sprung-floor dance studio, two fitness suites, and two indoor swimming pools,
one of which is a 50m with six lanes. The school also makes use of many of the
outstanding facilities available within the city. The school competes as part
of the BSME (British Schools Middle East) and ADISSA (Abu Dhabi International
Schools Sports Association) leagues, and in other government and school-run
tournaments.
The school currently runs GCSE and A level PE and is considering BTEC courses
from September ‎2023 and a desire to deliver academic PE would be advantageous
but not essential.
