Graduate Sports Assistant (Hockey & Rugby) Residential

Closing date: 23/05/2025 12:00 am

We are seeking to appoint two Resident Pastoral Graduate Assistants with specialisms in Hockey and
Rugby. Sport at Ratcliffe College is flourishing with success amongst boys and girls at County and Regional
level.

As a Resident Pastoral Graduate Assistant, you will initially support coaching our games programme whilst
developing and progressing throughout the academic year to coach teams and co-curricular activities
independently. According to your specialism, there may be the opportunity to mentor one or more of our
outstanding student athletes or Sports Scholars. You will be supported by our Directors of Sport in both the
Senior and the Preparatory Schools, and you will be guided by Heads of Sport every step of the way. You
will also contribute to our thriving boarding programme by being attached to our boys’ or girls’ boarding
house. As a 3-18 school, there will also be the opportunity to support our younger students in the
Preparatory School.

As an Activity Assistant within the Summer Schools and Immersion programmes, this will involve working 4
weeks of the College’s summer holiday and 1 week each over 2 of the half terms during the year.
To commence 26th August 2025 with a fixed term contract until August 2026. There will be the possibility
for the role to be renewed for a second year beginning September 2026, if mutually agreeable.

We would be very interested in hearing from applicants who would be available to start in July 2025.
We take your personal development seriously: we will support your own playing or coaching pathway
however we can.

Ideally, we are looking to appoint university graduates, however undergraduates on a placement year will
be considered and are encouraged to apply. The posts would be ideal for those who are considering a
career in Education or Sports Coaching.
