Job Description

Sports Graduate Teaching Assistant | SEN Teaching Assistant | PE Graduate Role | Leeds 

Love sport? Ever thought about using it to change a young person’s day?

Not every win in school shows up on a scoreboard.
 Sometimes it’s a student joining in for the first time, finishing a lesson, or simply believing they can do it.

A large SEND secondary school in Leeds is looking for a Sports Graduate Teaching Assistant to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) through sport, movement, and structured activities.

If you're a Sports Science, Physical Education, or Coaching graduate, this role is a brilliant way to gain hands-on SEN school experience while helping students build confidence and life skills.

What you’ll be doing as a Sports Graduate Teaching Assistant:

• Supporting pupils with SEND during PE lessons and physical activities
 • Assisting teachers in delivering KS3 and KS4 PE lessons
 • Encouraging confidence, teamwork, and positive behaviour
 • Adapting sports activities so every student can take part
 • Acting as a positive role model for pupils who need encouragement

This role could be perfect if you are a:

• Sports Science Graduate
 • PE Graduate
 • Sports Coaching Graduate
 • Graduate interested in SEND teaching assistant work
 • Future PE teacher, youth worker, or educational psychologist

What we’re looking for:

• Degree in Sports Science, Physical Education, Coaching, or related field
 • Interest in working with SEND students
 • Energy, patience, and strong teamwork skills
 • Someone who can motivate pupils through sport and physical activity

Why graduates love this role:

This position is often the first step into education for graduates who want careers in:

• Teaching
 • Educational Psychology
 • Youth work
 • SEND support

You’ll gain valuable SEND school experience, build relationships with pupils, and see just how powerful sport can be in the classroom.
