Who we’re looking for:
The School of Sport, Business and Media is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual with a PE teaching and/or sports coaching background to inspire students across a range of courses, most notably the Sport Coaching & Physical Education degree and the BA Physical Education programme. The successful candidate will join our dynamic and research active teaching team from the Sport, Coaching and PE programme area at Plymouth Marjon University.
The role requires you to possess industry relevant experience and qualifications, including Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), to help guide students through applied practice, professional placements and applied research projects. Possessing an excellent understanding of research informed practice is essential to ensure teaching remains consistent with sector expectations. Relevant knowledge, understanding and skill set to enable contribution to modules focused on learning through the outdoors, outdoor education and/or outdoor adventurous activities would be advantageous.
What you’d be doing:
The successful candidate will be expected to have a comprehensive understanding of teaching, either primary and/or secondary, related to physical education, physical activity and sport coaching. Expertise in sports coaching, community sport, and leadership and management would be welcome. Responsibility to lead modules on the programmes which create positive student experiences is expected, whilst also ensuring alignment to relevant professional standards. This foundation will then lead to opportunities for students to work with local sport partners thus creating ‘real-world’ learning experiences. You will also support recruitment activities for the school through attendance at open and applicant days. You will also be expected to play an active role in research, scholarly and knowledge exchange activity.
We have links with local sports providers and schools who employ many Marjon alumni and continue to offer many excellent opportunities for our students. You will be expected to develop and maintain excellent working relationships with our partners.

Supporting our people:
We recognise that our recruitment might bring in staff who are new to higher education and are bringing knowledge and expertise from other fields and practice. We want to ensure that all our academic staff are appropriately qualified to teach in HE and have the confidence to do so; to support this, we offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) to all new teaching staff without an existing teaching qualification. This provides our new staff with an opportunity to develop their understanding and practice of learning, teaching and pedagogic research/research management in higher education, and enables us to maintain our high standards of teaching.
