Outdoor Pursuits and Sport are a major part of both curricular and co-curricular life at Hampton School.
They play an essential role in the physical, emotional and social development of every pupil and we are justifiably proud of the facilities, support, expertise and talent provided by our colleagues.
This role would be ideally suited to a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a passion for the outdoors, sport and young people and wishing to gain experience in a School environment.
You should ideally have a good working knowledge of the Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme to assist with the administration of over 300 pupils currently enrolled in the silver and gold DofE Award scheme at both expeditions.
Our School's Adventure Society provides essential outdoor learning opportunities that are delivered both at School and at various locations throughout the UK and abroad.
You will support the delivery of high quality multi-activity trips that will include both day trips and group residentials ranging from camping and Youth Hostelling trips in the UK to major expeditions around the world.
The successful candidate should be available on weekends to accompany pupils on DofE, school trips or to sporting fixture.
You will also assist with cover for lessons across the School, as required. Hampton is one of the country's top sporting schools and has an impressive and much-envied record of sporting success.
The School maintains high standards of sportsmanship and achieves success at regional, national and international level across several sports, alongside fulfilling its commitment to offering boys of all abilities the opportunity to develop a love of sport.
We are particularly interested in candidates who can oversee climbing at the School. The ability to coach one of Football, Rugby, Rowing, Cricket or Athletics would be beneficial.
For outdoor sport, the school has extensive grass football and rugby pitches, a large 3G pitch, six tennis courts and 2 climbing walls. In the summer, the fields turn to six cricket pitches (with one astro wicket) and athletics facilities include a 300m grass running track, 100m grass sprint lanes, long jump, high jump, shot put and discus.
Indoor facilities include a six badminton court, multi-use sports hall, a small gym (also used for strength and conditioning), a small fitness suite and an ergo room. Hampton is one of the country's foremost independent schools where equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our ethos and the School has a thriving partnerships programme.
