Inspire Through Sport – PE Teacher Wanted! Are you a passionate PE Teacher who believes sport can change lives?
Do you thrive on helping young people rebuild confidence, resilience, and ambition?
East Sussex Academy (ESA) is looking for an exceptional PE Teacher to join our Alternative Provision in Hastings, working with secondary-aged students who need a fresh start.
Why This Role Matters This isn’t your typical PE role.
You’ll use sport, movement, and teamwork to:
Re-engage students who may have struggled in mainstream education
Build confidence, discipline, and self-belief
Help young people overcome barriers and achieve real success
You’ll be part of a team committed to breaking down obstacles to learning and improving student participation every day.
Location: Hastings, East Sussex
What You’ll Do Deliver creative, active, and engaging PE lessons
Adapt learning to meet SEN and individual student needs
Motivate and inspire students through physical activity
Track progress and celebrate every win – big and small
Be a positive role model both in and out of the classroom
About Us From 1 September 2025, we will be delivering Alternative Provision across East Sussex - supporting children who have been excluded from school or who may be at risk of exclusion. This follows a decision by the Department for Education last year, to transfer the provision (currently named College Central, part of Sabden Multi Academy Trust) to London South East Academies Trust.
Our aim is to ensure continuity and care for pupils during this transition, as we begin an exciting journey of improvement. We are committed to delivering high quality education for pupils, many of whom have had challenging experiences in mainstream settings and need support and encouragement to access learning. Ahead of the school's transfer into LSEAT (at which point it will officially become East Sussex Academy) we are already implementing some bespoke provision and services to support young people and schools across the county. This includes a Satellite AP, a Government-funded AP Taskforce and an Outreach Service.
Thank you for your interest in East Sussex Academy. We look forward to working with you in the coming months as we strengthen and improve Alternative Provision across the region.
About the Trust London South East Academies Trust is a growing and ambitious Multi-Academy Trust, currently comprising mainstream, special and alternative provision academies, alongside an outreach service and a music hub. Our schools are located across Bromley, Bexley, Sussex, Lambeth and Surrey, serving a wide range of communities and educational contexts.
Across the Trust, our schools share a strong commitment to raising attainment, encouraging aspiration and supporting social mobility for every pupil, throughout their educational journey and beyond. We take a holistic but personalised approach to education, recognising that children thrive when their individual strengths, needs and circumstances are properly understood and supported. This enables pupils to flourish and achieve their full potential, whatever their starting point.
We believe that great schools are built by great people. As a Trust, we invest in our staff through robust professional development and leadership opportunities, clear expectations and supportive structures. We actively encourage collaboration and the sharing of best practice across schools, supported by high-quality, cost-effective central services that allow leaders and teachers to focus on what matters most: improving outcomes for pupils.
London South East Academies Trust sits within the Elevare Civic Education Group, which also includes a multi-campus further and higher education college, London South East Colleges and a charitable foundation, Elevare Education Foundation. This unique structure provides meaningful progression pathways for pupils and families, as well as broad development and career opportunities for staff across the wider Group.
Our teams are united by a shared belief in the power of education to change lives. By continuing to grow our Trust and welcoming new expertise and perspectives, we aim to strengthen our schools further and extend the positive impact we have on our communities.
