Graduate Assistant

City of London School is seeking to appoint a recent graduate, on a one-year contract, to fulfil a range of responsibilities, including a contribution to the Games Programme.  Ideally the successful candidate will have the ability to offer games coaching skills and officiating in one or more of our major sports, particularly Football.

The successful candidate is likely to: 

• Have high personal standards and exhibit total professionalism. 

• Enjoy working with young people and be able to establish rapport and respectful and trusting relationships. 

• Be an enthusiastic sportsperson who has the initiative, ambition and the energy to contribute to our extensive co-curricular and sporting programme.

The post offers an opportunity to gain extensive and worthwhile working experience in a large independent school. The post will be particularly attractive to a graduate thinking of a career in education. The work will be varied, and that variety would, to some extent, be determined by the personality, enthusiasm and skills of the individual appointed. 

This role will be term time only (36 weeks per year)

We welcome applications from anyone with the relevant skills and abilities, and particularly from those who may not previously have thought of applying to a school such as ours.
