Gap Student

We are looking for a talented and energetic individual with an interest in sport to join us in a post-graduate gap year.

This position would be ideal for a student considering a career in teaching, as it offers many opportunities to discover life as a member of staff in a busy independent school. Part of the role would be spent with the PE & Games department assisting with their duties. A knowledge of rugby, football and cricket would be an advantage and the ability to assist in PE lessons, lunchtime clubs and afterschool training sessions. The other part of the role would be spent working alongside the SEND department, supporting a student in school with his studies, giving an ideal opportunity to experience a wide variety of different classroom-based experiences. The student concerned needs support with general organisation and study skills as we seek to provide him with the best possible opportunity to succeed academically and pastorally.

Working in two different departments will require the candidate to be organised and have good communication skills for dialogue between the departments.
