Graduate Assistant - Hockey

10-Month Contract

(September 2024)

We are looking for an outstanding Graduate Assistant to join a thriving and wellestablished Sports Department.

The successful candidate will have excellent knowledge and coaching experience, specifically within Hockey. Knowledge and coaching experience in either of our other core sports, Rugby and Cricket, would be advantageous. The role is suitable for recent graduates who are looking to start a career in the independent sector or an individual who has previously specialised in Hockey coaching. The individual should be both ambitious in terms of developing and building on their own skillset, as well as setting and delivering high standards to the pupils they coach. They should also have the ability to work in an environment where teachers often collaborate, and team teach classes. Athletic development sits at the heart of the PE programme, with any experience or qualifications in this field strengthening an application.

We would also welcome relevant qualifications in first aid, pool lifesaving and any sports specific accreditations, as well as playing experience.

Please complete an application form; you may wish to add a brief CV.
