King's College Vacancies

We support all staff to develop their teaching and pastoral skills, providing frequent access to high quality professional development, utilising the skills and experience of colleagues through our peer-coaching programme and tailoring professional development to each individual and their aspirations.

Sport is central to school life at King’s. We celebrate the many great lessons gained from participating in sport: from hard work, commitment, being part of a team and a sense of fair play, to name a few. All of these are core values for life, which translate far beyond the playing fields.

We have been hugely successful in recent years with individual and team successes on the local, national and international stage across a wide range of sports. Pupils at King’s benefit from our stunning grounds and state-of-the-art facilities. We are incredibly proud of the many pupils who have gone on to pursue professional sporting careers, having fallen in love with sport here at King’s.

We are seeking to appoint a coach to support the hockey programme across the two first terms of sport (September to April), which will include managing and coaching a squad in each of those terms.

Working under our Head of Drama (Prep school) and Director of Drama and Performing Arts (Senior school), we are looking to appoint a dynamic and forward-thinking person who not only has their own personal passion and skills for drama but is also able to translate that effectively in a teaching environment for the enjoyment and benefit of all children, whatever their own current level.

The successful applicant will use their talents to help enrich the quality of a wide range of dramatic opportunities for the children, be a role model and add proportionally to the vibrant life of our day and boarding school.  Whilst this is predominantly a Prep based role, in all things we aim to maximise the benefits of our 'one school, two sites' connection with our senior school, King's College and it is anticipated that the role will likely include around three days at the Prep and one day at the senior school.

In return, we can guarantee you a strong and hugely rewarding culture of enthusiasm for drama, collaborative effort and an awareness that life should be enjoyable for the staff as well as the children!
