We are looking for an outstanding PE teacher for our Senior School. You should be a passionate advocate for both the children that you teach and the benefits that PE can bring to them. You will be teaching children across the age range so you will need to have experience of the progression of PE and developmental activities for children of these ages. As a PE teacher you will ignite a passion for being active, create a sense of achievement for all and demonstrate the highest expectations whilst acknowledging that each one of our children is unique with individual strengths and needs.
We offer outstanding, well-resourced PE and Sport facilities so we are looking for an amazing PE teacher whose provision brings the bricks, mortar and grass to life. You will be an important member of the PE faculty so it is essential that you are dedicated, positive-minded and prepared to share ideas. If you are the kind of teacher that has children running into school because they have PE with you then we are the school for you.

Safer Recruitment
The safe recruitment of all colleagues (including consultants/ contractors/ supply teachers, activity providers and volunteers) in schools is the first step to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in education.
At Jerudong International School we ensure the practice of safer recruitment in checking and recording the suitability of staff and volunteers to work with children.
As part of the safer recruitment procedure, we will require the following information prior to starting work at JIS:
- Up to date police records from a teacher’s country of origin and previous country of employment.
- Two references, one of which must be from the current employer. If a teacher has worked in two or more schools, within 5 years, telephone contact will be made with those schools to ask why the teacher is leaving and if there were any concerns of a safety nature with children.
