The School will also require: evidence of the right to work in the UK; at least two satisfactory references; evidence of qualifications; and, confirmation of medical fitness for the demands of the role.
The successful candidate will possess excellent communication and organisational skills and have confidence in dealing with colleagues and pupils. A positive and professional approach is essential.
Hours: 1-2 days per week during term-time with flexibility to join camps and weekend training exercises. The precise working arrangements will be agreed with the preferred candidate before appointment.
Salary: To be agreed on appointment. Commensurate with skills and experience.
Closing date: 9am on Tuesday 22 April 2025. Applications will be assessed as they are received and interviews may occur at any stage during the recruitment process.
