Caldicott is one of the country’s most prestigious Independent Boarding and Day Preparatory Schools for Boys. We are a flourishing school with around 250 boys from 7 to 13 years old, with a five-day week in Year 3 and Year 4 and Saturday School from Year 5, with Flexi Boarding (1st to 4th Form/Years 3 to 6), Weekly, Full Boarding or Day Plus options (5th and 6th Form / Years 7 and 8). We deliver a first-class education, sporting provision and a rich variety of music, drama, arts and extracurricular opportunities in a friendly and supportive working environment. The school is only twenty miles from central London in a beautiful location.
We are seeking an ambitious and dynamic teacher who will seize an exciting opportunity to work at Caldicott. The successful candidate will teach Physical Education and Games to all year groups; will hold a relevant undergraduate degree and have a good understanding of the KS2 and KS3 curriculum (up to year 8). S/he will be expected to be involved in the school’s extensive extra-curricular sporting programme as well as contribute to the wider life of the school.
The ability to coach at least one of Caldicott’s major games, Rugby, Football or Cricket, to a high level is a pre-requisite. The ability to coach swimming would be advantageous but is not essential. We are keen to see candidates who have:
· a passion for Sport and PE;
· a strong sporting and sports coaching background;
· excellent interpersonal and team working skills and
· a genuine enthusiasm for contributing to the wider school community and the boarding school environment.
This role requires a strong commitment to supporting this age range pastorally and requires full involvement in the boarding life of the school.
This post is suitable for an NQT or a more experienced teacher. We offer a generous salary; a comprehensive employee assistance programme; accommodation; all meals during term time; excellent resources; a high standard of on-site facilities and motivated, enthusiastic and polite students.
Caldicott is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
