The assistant roles present a fantastic opportunity for those looking ahead to a career in teaching or sports coaching, to join a busy and exciting area of one of the UK’s top independent schools. The roles will involve being immersed in every facet of school life including teaching, pastoral care, sports coaching and child supervision.
