Wymondham College has over 400 staff dedicated to supporting World Class education. The College currently is one of the top State Schools in the Country and is recognised as one of the highest performing State Schools in the East of England, this is backed up by its most recent Ofsted inspections which rated the College as Outstanding in both Education and Boarding 2023.

The College is focused on providing outstanding quality to their students and staff not only in education but also through its provision of exceptional facilities and accommodation on site across its 83-acre campus.

The Role of the School Staff Instructor (SSI) at the Wymondham College Combined Cadet Force (CCF) is an integral part of this unique cadet organisation. The SSI is the link between the OC Army and RAF sections who ultimately report to the Contingent Commander, without the SSI this cohesion is not achievable. Being hugely organised with all the paperwork that MOD require is essential.Maintaining the stores is also essential in the smooth running of issuing kit and stock checks.

The hours outside the main parade day on a Tuesday are flexible and can be moved around as long as the total hours are agreed with the Contingent Commander. This role is term time only so work in the office when the school is on holidays is not required, however there will be a rota for the Armoury alarm call outs. In addition, the SSI will be expected to attend the Army summer camp and RAF summer camp if these fall in the school holidays. These camps will be paid separately from Brigade so these 2 weeks are in addition to the pro rata pay of the SSI.

All College staff enjoy a number of non-contractual benefits, including:

• Free refreshments
• Free on-site car parking
• A generous pension as part of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
• A Cycle to Work scheme
• 24/7 access to our Employee Assistance Programme, at no cost to you.

The post-holder will be required to comply with the Wymondham College Code of Conduct for Staff and Volunteers.

Wymondham College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
