Teaching careers in HMC independent schools

We are currently seeking to fill the position of Head of Athletic Development.

Situated on the beautiful Moray Coast in the North of Scotland, Gordonstoun was founded by Kurt Hahn, a visionary educationalist. The school is widely recognised as the world leader in Hahnian Education, an education focused on the philosophies of service, challenge and compassion.

We are looking for an inspirational Head of Athletic Development to join our thriving sports department. You will be an outstanding practitioner who is passionate about working with students who are eager to learn and challenge themselves.

We are a community of over 500 students aged from 5-18, who are predominantly full boarding and are drawn from over 40 countries. Gordonstoun encourages all staff to engage in our wonderfully broad programme, and we are seeking someone who is keen to play an active role in boarding school life and Hahn's philosophies, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in the mountains or in the middle of the Moray Firth.

Above all, we're looking for someone who embodies a positive, proactive attitude and shares our belief in the school's motto, "Plus Est En Vous" – "There is more in you."

Gordonstoun is striving to build a team that is truly inclusive. We welcome applications from marginalised and under-represented groups.

Benefits of working at Gordonstoun

  • Staff fee remission for children in the school in accordance with the staff fee and admissions policies.
  • Free meals during term time.
  • Free use of sports facilities.
  • Free parking on school campus and cycle to work scheme.
  • Free access to an employee assistance programme for services such as counselling and legal advice.

Gordonstoun is one of the UK's top independent schools for boarding and day pupils aged 4 ½ to 18. Gordonstoun has been the world leader in character education for over 80 years and was the birthplace of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

At Gordonstoun, we believe that a broader curriculum broadens not only minds but opportunities too. It is a belief that's served both us and our students well for over 80 years and that has made Gordonstoun the world leader in character education. Our curriculum, which is unrivaled in breadth, helps every child to achieve their full potential.
