Job overview
Sherborne International is seeking a Sports Coordinator to join its Summer Course team for up to six weeks during July and August 2027. Working as a key member of the Pastoral Team, you will help deliver a safe, engaging and enjoyable summer school experience for international students aged 8–17. Student welfare and wellbeing sit at the heart of the role, and you will work closely with residential and non-residential staff to ensure students are supervised, supported and encouraged to participate fully in school life.
The Sports Coordinator takes the lead in organising and overseeing the daily sporting activities programme. Responsibilities include managing activity sign-ups, allocating staff to activities, liaising with external providers, ensuring appropriate risk assessments and safety measures are in place, coordinating transport arrangements where required, and adapting activities in response to changing circumstances such as weather conditions. The role also includes lunchtime supervision, gate duties, monitoring student behaviour, supporting the search for students who are late or missing from lessons, and assisting with student arrivals and departures.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, organised and approachable individual who enjoys working with young people and has a genuine interest in sport and physical education. The successful candidate will be a confident communicator, able to think quickly, take the lead in challenging situations and remain calm under pressure. Experience of working with young people, working within a risk-managed environment, or holding a first aid qualification would be advantageous.
This temporary position offers a rate of £13.80 per hour, typically working around 40 hours per week. A paid compulsory induction will take place prior to the course, and staff benefit from meals during shifts, free onsite parking and reduced membership of Sherborne Boys' Sports Centre.
The School reserves the right to interview candidates as applications are received. Vacancies will be withdrawn as roles are filled.
