Job overview

Brentwood Senior School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 35 minutes from London Liverpool Street.

This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding netball coach to join this high-performing and thriving department. We are looking for an enthusiastic, inspiring individual to support the netball programme by coaching during Games afternoons and after-school practices, as well as taking fixtures on Saturdays. This role is to commence as soon as possible from the beginning of January to 27th March 2027.

Working alongside the Head of Netball, the role will ensure that we can deliver outstanding netball provision to all age groups and abilities. The successful candidate will coach girls from all age groups from U12 up to U18, as well as being responsible for a specific age group during Saturday morning fixtures.

Netball is a focus sport at Brentwood School, with competitions and practices taking place throughout the Michaelmas and Lent terms. It is a very popular Games option for the students, with each year group consisting of up to five teams. Recent successes include the U19 team reaching the semi-final of the Independent Schools' Netball Cup, as well as our U14 and U16 teams reaching the national schools tournament.

This is a term-time role; 10 hours per week, which includes Saturday morning fixtures. The proposed timings are 1400 - 1730 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, plus an additional 4 hours on Saturday (approximately 0800 - 1200).

We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation. At Brentwood we ask 'how is this child intelligent?' (rather than 'how intelligent is this child?') and believe that finding what it is that makes someone tick is the secret to a successful education and the platform for a fulfilled life. Our pupils are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no-one is looking and they respect difference.

We help our pupils to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset, and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their own learning. Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they've left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.

That's who we are. We are Brentwood.

We are a highly supportive school that values the contributions made by a motivated and intellectually curious staff. We welcome applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. Staff across both the Prep and Senior School enjoy a bespoke collaborative approach to professional development. We believe in being a research engaged school, with those that facilitate our in-house research programme being trained by the Institute of Education. We support many of our staff in obtaining external accreditation across a range of fields and are engaged with a number of national and international organisations. There are a range of ways that we enhance our staff experience; free gym membership, benefits hub, free lunch, free tickets to school concerts and performance to name but a few. Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector.

Brentwood School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
