We strive to provide high quality education and support to our students in fulfilling their academic potential and becoming thinking, questioning and caring members of society. We are a diverse and vibrant college and we are proud of the success and achievements of our students and staff. 

We have engaged in extensive self-reflection over the past two years motivated by significant societal events as well as the ongoing commitment to be a responsive, innovative and forward thinking college and an ambitious learning community. In order to realise this commitment in our day to day work, we have developed a framework of Compassionate Education, a concept which embraces inclusive practice, seeks to apply the principles of equality and diversity in all we do, promotes the importance of positive mental health and wellbeing for all and advances our ambition to be an anti-racist organisation.

We are currently seeking to appoint a Sports Assistant to join our outstanding Sports team. The college has a strong ethos of enrichment and sports participation, and is fully committed to providing extensive activities for all of our students. Our physical activity provision and facilities are notably of a high standard.

You will provide data management and administrative support to the sports team and contribute to the coaching and delivery of sports sessions. 

You should have excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills. The ability to work in a supportive and patient manner is equally important to the role. 

In return we offer a wide range of staff benefits and the opportunity to work within a thriving learning community.
