Sessional Cricket Coach

We are a school that values diversity and individual contribution, supporting and encouraging both students and staff to pursue their interests and achieve their ambitions.

The PE and Games Department is currently looking for a dedicated and hardworking Cricket Coach to be responsible for the coaching, performance and continued growth and development of Latymer’s cricket programme.

The coach will also be involved in coaching various age groups (boys and girls) and taking a team on a Saturday for fixtures. Reporting in to the Head of Cricket and the Head of Girls Cricket, this is a part-time, fixed-term appointment for 1 term (April – July 2025) example hours include Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (2-6pm), Friday (2pm-4pm) and Saturday (9am-1pm), but these can be agreed around existing commitments. Saturday mornings are non-negotiable.

The PE and Games Department aims to inspire a passion for sport and exercise enabling lifelong wellbeing.

• To foster in every student an enjoyment of sport and physical activity.
• To promote lifelong involvement in physical activity.
• To provide the opportunity for each student to fulfil their sporting and physical potential.

In order to achieve this vision, we have three levels of engagement:

• Full engagement in exercise through a wide range of fitness and sporting activities.
• High engagement in team sports with increasing focus later on.
• Clear pathway opportunities to pursue high performance.

All Heads of Sport aim to create a culture that delivers:

• High levels of participation (recreational, aspirational and competitive) with a fixture programme to cater for all levels.
• A training environment that is rewarding and challenging for all levels of performers (beginner to international).
• Competitive success.
• Impact on wider Latymer life (development of cross-curricular skills, discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship, etc).

Diversity – The School is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We have an established and representative staff Equality and Diversity Board to help drive forward positive change. A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population.

We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The post is subject to an enhanced DBS check, online check and two satisfactory references.
