Resident Graduate Teaching Assistant, for Girls’/Boys’ Sport

Sidcot SchoolNorth Somerset

We educate students rather than simply train them to pass tests.  Take a look at our website to find out how we prepare children for a life of adventure: https://www.sidcot.org.uk  

Job Summary:  A varied and fulfilling role that offers invaluable experience of working in our busy PE Department assisting in the delivery of Sport/PE, assisting with the day-to-day running of a busy department, helping with the teaching of lessons, fixtures and co-curricular activities.  The role will involve work in the Senior and Junior Schools, during the week and at weekends and also includes various boarding and school duties.

About Us:  Sidcot School is a thriving independent day and boarding school set in glorious countryside just 7 miles south of Bristol Airport. Our students experience a community where it is clear that independent thought is encouraged and curiosity is a way of life.  Great education starts with great teachers and our teachers want their students to have interesting lives; they want to give them the confidence and motivation to develop their talents, and the desire to put those talents to good use in the world.

About You:  This is an exciting opportunity for graduates in tune with our approach to education in search of gaining experience of living and working in a boarding and day school for one academic year, perhaps prior to embarking on a PGCE course or taking up a teaching position.  The ability to coach hockey, netball and rounders for girls and rugby, football and cricket for boys would be particularly welcome, but other sports will be considered.

Salary:  £13,000 per annum.  A contribution towards accommodation and meals of £1550 per annum is required
