Resident Graduate Assistant

Beaudesert Park School, Gloucestershire, is one of the county’s leading independent co-educational day & flexi boarding schools for children aged 3 to 13.  We are looking to recruit a Resident Graduate Assistant (RGAs) to join us for one academic year starting September 2022.  The successful candidates will be willing, able and highly adaptable individuals who are interested in a teaching career and would relish the experience this post will offer in a highly successful prep school environment.

Under the direction and instruction of the Senior Master, the Resident Graduate Assistant (RGA) role provides essential support to pupils and staff particularly with respect to the sporting development of pupils, co-curricular activities (trips, events, activities etc) and boarding. 

RGA duties will range from supporting pupils’ learning in the classroom to playing an active part in promoting the School’s main sports (rugby, hockey, football, netball and cricket) and offering extra-curricular activities.  RGAs will undertake boarding duties on agreed mornings and evenings as well as daytime cover duties and morning break and lunch cover. 

Opportunities also exist for those wishing to gain wider experience in developing their own talents and interests, for example in music, drama, art and DT.

The School also requires assistance with lifeguarding, both children's swimming lessons and during external hire sessions (for which an additional payment is made).  A lifeguarding qualification is encouraged and training pre appointment will be paid for by the School. 

We expect RGAs will find the experience of working in a busy school environment invaluable in whatever career they later choose to pursue. At the end of the year, RGAs will have gained confidence, acquired valuable leadership and communication skills, and developed talents in perhaps, as yet, unknown disciplines!

Required September 2022 for one academic year.

Salary range: Competitive salary plus accommodation and meals

Hours: Term time only
