Sports Graduate Trainee

Are you considering PE teaching, sports coaching or working in a sports-related role with young people and want to develop your skills and 'test the waters'? Or perhaps you are considering a year off to try something completely different

This is an exciting opportunity for new graduates from September 2024. We are looking for candidates with a range of sporting interests and specialisms to work within our PE and Games department for the next academic year. Our major sports are hockey, rugby, netball and cricket, and an ability to offer one or more of these sports is essential.

This one-year residential post provides valuable support to our PE and Games department, classroom learning and boarding houses, as well as an exciting and ideal opportunity for graduates who are considering a career in education to experience a year in the life of our vibrant and successful school.

We aim to offer our Graduate Trainees a memorable year working with energetic and inspiring students within a co-educational environment. The School will provide accommodation and utilities throughout the year and free board in term time. You will also have access to a gym and swimming pool on site, and in this paid role there may also be opportunities for continuing your professional development, training and coaching qualifications.

This experience provides a platform for various career progression paths. At the end of your time at Cranbrook, you will have achieved positive results both personally and professionally and you will have developed skills and experience of considerable value – particularly if you decide to continue your career in teaching.
