Job overview
We are seeking to employ four Sports Interns for the 2019-20 Academic Year to contribute to our sports, physical education and boarding programs. An Intern placement year in the sports department of Millfield Prep School will provide an unrivalled opportunity to work at one of the UK’s leading Prep Schools.

For example, the Pre Prep Department, boarding, or any academic department which would be beneficial to students wishing to pursue a PGCE or undergraduate studies.
The posts run for a full academic year from September through June, with breaks for School holidays. Remuneration is £9,217 per annum including holiday pay, plus board and lodging during term time and a contribution towards professional development (e.g. coaching course).
