Graduate Assistant - Netball
Location: Wimborne Minster
Salary: £17,899 per annum plus free accomodation
Vacancy Type: Fixed Term until July 2026
The School wish to appoint, for September 2025, an outstanding, enthusiastic and committed university graduate whose principal duty will be to help coach and deliver the School Sports programme focusing on Netball.
This programme must offer all of their pupils the chance to explore the opportunities that sport offers, allow them to express themselves through their physical wellbeing activities and facilitate those who wish to excel in their chosen path. The successful candidate will also help in boarding houses, assist with the weekend activities programme, and potentially assist in an academic department appropriate to the strengths of the graduate. Applicants must have the ability to coach at a good level in Netball, along with the willingness to help in other sports. Experience and ability to help in the athletic development / strength and conditioning programme is a desirable quality.
The Graduate Assistant role is designed to allow people who might be considering a teaching career to experience life in a boarding school. Previous graduate assistants have gone on to positions in education both at the school and other outstanding independent and state schools both at home and abroad. Equally others have subsequently moved into roles in Elite Sport and business. They are also happy to receive applications from those wishing to take a year out, but not necessarily considering teaching as a career.
This is, initially, a fixed term appointment until July 2026. Accommodation is provided, as are all meals in term-time.
