Closing date: undisclosed

We are also looking to appoint four recent graduates to coach sport and to engage in the boarding life of the College, with effect from September 2015. Our preference is for candidates who have experience and expertise in one or more of the following sports: rugby, cricket, netball and hockey. The ability to coach tennis and athletics would be beneficial.

These appointments are initially for one year, but this tenure may be extended by mutual agreement. The post would suit a graduate considering a career in teaching, but considering taking “a year out” to gain experience after the rigours of academic life at university.

The successful candidates will play a significant role in the coaching of sport in the school, will assist with the management of school teams and the house sport programme and will be expected to contribute fully to boarding school life being attached to one of the school’s boarding houses. They will be expected to be available at all times that school sport takes place; the successful candidates will also play a role in the wider life of the P.E. department and may also be asked to contribute to other academic faculties. 

Term time accommodation and meals provided; salary by negotiation.
