The job

Physical Education Officers do much more than keeping people fighting fit. You'll arrange fitness programmes, organise adventurous training and run a wide range of facilities as your key responsibilities, but the Physical Education specialisation also has a long-standing involvement with parachuting. While a number of Physical Education Officers embrace the more conventional aspects of physical education, others are involved in the operational parachute training of the UK’s airborne and special forces. You could teach survival techniques to aircrew, or help other staff with personal development using the outdoors. The challenges and demands of a Physical Education Officer’s job make it unique in the field of physical education today.
