Job description
Full-time, Full year, Permanent contract
Sport and physical activity play a central role in the life of Whitgift. Many boys are attracted to the School, not just because of the academic excellence, but also the considerable opportunities that exist in physical education, both in the curriculum and in co-curricular activities. Central to the work of everyone in the Sports Department is a desire to encourage pupils to give their very best at whatever level they can achieve. The result is an enormous number of boys involved in sporting activities of one kind or another and very high quality in all activities, culminating in professional standards for many of the most talented boys.
We are looking to recruit a full-time Games Coach, Football specialist, to work within our nationally regarded Sports Department. The successful candidate should have experience of working with elite athletes and an understanding of player pathways at all levels of the game. They will be expected to coach players from beginners to academy standard, so experience of coaching a wide range of ability is essential. The successful candidate will be expected to work Monday to Friday running daily games, lunchtimes and after school sessions, and Saturdays for fixtures and training. There is also an expectation to be fully involved in the delivery of one or more of our summer term sports during the Trinity term.
We welcome applications from all sectors of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake.
