This is an exciting opportunity for a well-qualified graduate to gain vital teaching skills and experience at a leading independent school as a Sports Assistant (Hockey).
Emanuel School's Graduate Sports Assistants are an integral part of our PE and sports team. They work across the full range of our sports offering to ensure that every pupil fulfills their sporting potential. From supporting participation in PE lessons through to coaching high ability teams and individuals, you will provide key support that ensures the smooth running of the PE department and our hockey programme.
For candidates interested in a future teaching career, there will also be a range of opportunities to develop their skills and experience in this area during their time at Emanuel.
We are looking for a personable and enthusiastic individual to join us from August 2025. You will be a hockey specialist, with solid practical playing and coaching experience in this sport. Ideally, you will also be capable of coaching cricket, football or netball. Strong communication skills are essential, along with a degree-level sports qualification (or experience that demonstrates equivalent professional abilities).
Working at Emanuel
There is always a buzz at Emanuel. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school. With a weekly staff briefing, half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, all of us are engaged in a lively ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims and aspirations.
Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining us should expect to do the same and share our commitment to the highest standards. At the same time our ethos remains unpretentious, kindly and practical, and there’s a strong sense of community and friendship at the school.
We aim to look after our staff well: we have an appraisal scheme with a focus on employees’ professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer salary sacrifice childcare vouchers through TEDS Premier, we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. Financially, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
