St. Edward’s sports department invites applications from motivated sports graduates eager to contribute to our dynamic team.
This role offers the chance to assist in the development of strength and conditioning programmes across various sports, alongside monitoring sessions and progression. This is an unrivalled opportunity to gain experience of the independent sector in education and of a boarding environment.
Graduate Assistants play a full part in the boarding and co-curricular life of the School. Their work is varied, and that variety is, to some extent, determined by the personality, enthusiasm, and skills of the individual. The post has become a successful springboard for those considering roles in strength and conditioning in both schools and within elite environments. The School encourages its Graduate Assistants to extend their experience by attending relevant training courses, at the School’s expense. Successful candidates will be full members of the School’s Common Room.
The successful candidate will be degree educated in a related sport subject and will have an interest and knowledge of strength and conditioning. Equally important will be a strong desire to keep up to date with research in the field of athletic development across multiple sports.
If you have the required subject knowledge, excellent communication skills and are able to empathise with young people, we would love to hear from you.

The closing date for applications is Friday 12th April 2024.
Interviews will take place in the week commencing 22nd April 2024.
