'Resident Graduate' opportunities Job reference no: RG2012

We are looking for up to seven recent graduates to play a leading role in its leisure activities scheme and assist with duties in boarding houses. We offer full board during school terms and a small remuneration.

For those seeking to undertake further studies at University after a first degree this scheme provides an excellent opportunity to get involved in the extra-curricular life of a distinguished school while studying. While it would provide useful experience for those planning to undertake PGCEs, we have found it to be difficult for such students to combine the responsibilities of a Resident Graduate with the time commitment of teaching practice.

The programme is excellent for those unsure of the way ahead and offers a year of purposeful and busy activity with youngsters. An ideal chance to do something valuable and enjoyable while having time to think!
