Job overview
St. Edward’s sports department is seeking a sports graduate to assist in developing strength and conditioning programmes across a variety of sports and to assist in monitoring sessions and progression. This is an unrivalled opportunity to gain experience of the independent sector in education and of a boarding environment.
Graduate Assistants play a full part in the boarding and co-curricular life of the School. Their work is varied, and that variety is, to some extent, determined by the personality, enthusiasm, and skills of the individual. The post has become a successful springboard for those considering roles in strength and conditioning in both schools and within elite environments. The School encourages its Graduate Assistants to extend their experience by attending relevant training courses, at the School’s expense. Successful candidates will be full members of the School’s Common Room.
The successful candidate will be degree educated in a related sport subject and will have an interest and knowledge of strength and conditioning. Equally important will be a strong desire to keep up to date with research in the field of athletic development to ensure the quality of delivery. If you have the required subject knowledge, excellent communication skills and are able to empathise with young people we would like to hear from you.
In return, St Edward’s can offer a variety of benefits including:
• Free meals
• Free Nuffield Health Gym membership
• Free car parking
