Are you considering PE teaching, sports coaching or working in a sports-related role with

young people and want to develop your skills and ‘test the waters’? Or perhaps you are

considering a year off to try something completely different!

This is an exciting opportunity for new female graduates from September 2025. We are

looking for candidates with a range of sporting interests and specialisms to work within

our PE and Games department for the next academic year. Our major sports are

hockey, rugby, netball and cricket, and an ability to offer one or more of these sports is

essential.

This one-year residential post (can be flexible on start/end dates) provides valuable

support to our PE and Games department, classroom learning and boarding houses, as

well as an exciting and ideal opportunity for graduates who are considering a career in

education to experience a year in the life of our vibrant and successful school.

We aim to offer our Graduate Trainees a memorable year working with energetic and

inspiring students within a co-educational environment. The School will provide

accommodation and utilities throughout the year and free board in term time. You will

also have access to a gym and swimming pool on site, and in this paid role there may

also be opportunities for continuing your professional development, training and

coaching qualifications.

This experience provides a platform for various career progression paths. At the end of

your time at Cranbrook, you will have achieved positive results both personally and

professionally and you will have developed skills and experience of considerable value –

particularly if you decide to continue your career in teaching.

Early applications are encouraged, and we reserve the right to interview and appoint

candidates prior to the closing date, which is midday on Friday 23rd May 2025.
