Cheltenham Ladies’ College welcomes pupils from leading Japanese schools to improve their English during the summer months. Each summer school comprises of between 25-40 Japanese girls, aged 15-17 years. The pupils have English lessons, but also have a busy itinerary of excursions and extra-curricular activities. We aim to give the pupils a taste of what it is like to study at a leading British boarding school.
We have an opportunity for 9 Course Assistants to assist with the organisation and running of all summer school activities including: the excursions, transfers to the airport, and activities such as pottery painting and fashion shows. They will have pastoral responsibility for the students during their stay, and are responsible for making sure our guests are safe, happy and participating in all activities.
The Course Assistants will stay in a boarding house with the students and as such accommodation will be provided for the duration of the contract, and meals when on duty.
Successful candidates will have the ability to speak English clearly, coherently and confidently to large groups of people and will have a flexible attitude with the ability to work potentially unsociable hours.
Course Assistants will be ambassadors of Cheltenham Ladies’ College and therefore their conduct should reflect College’s values and ethics.

"Girls enrolling in College are highly likely to see in the turn of the next century, living lives of unprecedented longevity. Their world will be full of promise, choice and possibility on a scale that has not been true for any generation of women that has preceded them.
“Leading this energetic, talented and caring community of staff and pupils is an extraordinary privilege. We have a unique and inspiring pioneering heritage which we cherish, and we have a very exciting future. We would love you to be a part of it.”
Eve Jardine-Young, Principal
College first opened its doors in February 1854 with the purpose of providing girls with a thorough academic education. We have remained committed to that pioneering goal, while adapting to a complex and changing world. Today we are one of the largest school communities of boarding and day girls in Europe, allowing us to provide a rich holistic curriculum. Approximately 850 pupils from 40 countries across the world benefit from the knowledge and expertise gained over the last 160 years of putting girls first.
Our motivated and able pupils genuinely want to learn, and consistently achieve results at the very highest level in GCSE, A Level, Pre-U and IB examinations. For the teachers who can nurture such achievement, we offer excellent resources, professional support and personal development. In addition, we have a dedicated team that manages evening and weekend boarding duties, so you can focus on what you do best: inspiring your classes.
You can also look forward to a wonderful working environment right at the heart of Cheltenham. Described as the cultural centre of the Cotswolds, this elegant and thriving town offers excellent transport links to the South West or Midlands, with the M5 in easy reach. London can be reached in two hours, and Cheltenham’s mainline rail station provides rapid and frequent connections with the rest of the UK.
We believe that there are few better places to live and work – and no better setting within which ambitious teachers can make a positive impact on their pupils’ lives.
