We are seeking an ambitious, dynamic, self‑motivated, and highly organised team player and experienced sports coach to work within our busy and thriving Games Department & Football programme.

It is essential that applicants hold a minimum Level 1 and are working towards Level 2 or equivalent coaching qualification.

Closing date for applications is 12 noon on Thursday 15 January 2026

Interviews will take place as and when we receive applications. Early applications are encouraged, and we reserve the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

To apply please complete an application form (available to download from the School's website St Benedicts - Work With Us) and return to [e-mail]. Further details can be obtained from the HR department: 020 8 862 2185 or email [e-mail].

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The safeguarding responsibilities of the post include:

• child protection, discipline, health and safety
• promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young persons for whom you are responsible and with whom you come into contact.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
