Job Description
We wish to appoint, for September 2023, outstanding, enthusiastic and committed university graduates whose principal duty will be to help coach and deliver the Canford School sports programme focusing on one of the following five sports: Netball, Rowing, Rugby, Cricket or Hockey.
This programme must offer all of our pupils the chance to explore the opportunities that sport offers, allow them to express themselves through their physical wellbeing activities and facilitate those who wish to excel in their chosen path. Successful candidates will also help in boarding houses, assist with the weekend activities programme, and potentially assist in an academic department appropriate to the strengths of the graduate. Applicants must have the ability to coach at a good level in one of the five sports listed, along with the willingness to help in other sports. Experience and ability to help in the athletic development / strength and conditioning programme is also a desirable quality.
These positions are designed to allow graduates who might be considering a teaching career to experience life in a boarding school as fully as possible. Previous graduate assistants have gone on to positions in education both at Canford and other outstanding independent and state schools both at home and abroad. Equally others have subsequently moved into roles in Elite Sport and business. We are also happy to receive applications from those wishing to take a year out, but not necessarily considering teaching as a career.
This is, initially, a fixed term appointment until July 2024. Accommodation is provided, as are all meals in term-time.
