The School is seeking two enthusiastic and motivated gap year students with keen interest in the area of sports to support the PE department in the games sessions along with supporting the Wrap Around Care team during breakfast club. This role is ideal for someone taking a structured break before university or further education and looking to gain valuable work experience, develop key skills, and contribute meaningfully in a professional environment.
The posts will mainly involve working as a member of the Sports department and in particular supporting either the Director or Deputy Director of Sport. The School’s main aim is to provide a curriculum that is broad and balanced, covering the academic, artistic and physical elements that are crucial for the development of the whole child.
This role is a great opportunity for those who are planning a career working with young people and
who need experience to get their first job or get onto a course. You can prepare for a career working with children and demonstrate the impact you can have on their lives. It is a one-year post which gives you an insight into a range of roles on offer in schools. You will help with administrative work, lunch duties, sports arrangements, lessons and matches. You will learn to plan, organise, support, extend and enrich the lives of children and be a reliable team player and will work with children in all age ranges from the Nursery to Prep. The Gap student will start the day with Breakfast Club which operates daily from 7.30 am but this is an additional part of the role and is flexible. You may need to work occasional evenings and weekends to support fixtures.
