A varied and fulfilling role that offers invaluable experience of working in our busy PE Faculty assisting in the delivery of Sport/PE, assisting with the day-to-day running of a busy Faculty, planning and  teaching of lessons, fixtures and co-curricular activities. The role will involve work in the Senior and Junior Schools, during the week and at weekends and also includes various boarding and school duties. We would expect the successful candidate to be a full member of the team and prepared to experience a role as a teacher of Physical Education. We have two positions available, one based in the Senior School and one in the Junior School. Your application can reflect a preference for a particular role.

This is an exciting opportunity for those in tune with our approach to education in search of gaining experience of  working in a boarding and day school for one academic year, perhaps prior to embarking on a PGCE course or taking up a teaching position.  Due to the boarding element of this role, it is a residential post, so we would expect the successful candidates to live in accommodation on site. The  ability to coach either hockey, netball, rounders, rugby, football or cricket would be particularly welcome, but other sports will be considered.

Start:             September 2025 (Induction day 26.08.24)

Contract:      Fixed for one academic year

Contribution to accommodation and meals:  £2260 per annum

Interviews:     Interviews will take place on Wednesday 22 January 2025
