About this Role
Radley College have an excellent opportunity for a Graduate
Assistant to work at the school for the academic year
2024-25. The ideal start date would be 1 September
but we would be happy to wait until January 2025 for
the right candidate.
The position is designed to give a
recent graduate or postgraduate in English the
opportunity to gain experience of teaching at advanced
secondary level (ages 13-18).
Graduate Assistants teach a reduced workload - about
15 forty minute periods per week. We will give the
necessary training, and also provide the opportunity
for lesson observation.
We have had great success in
Graduate Assistants moving to full-time appointments
at the College, but this is not an expectation.
In addition to a salary of £19,500 pa (which will be reviewed over the summer as part of the
usual salary review) the College will provide accommodation, and meals during term time, all
free of charge. In short, the person we hope to appoint will be an enthusiast for English, who
may be considering a career in teaching. The opportunity we are offering is to 'try before you
buy' with plenty of help and support, and the added bonus of a salary and accommodation.
The exact nature of the Graduate Assistant’s commitment
will be negotiated on an individual basis. The Head of
English, Alex Nash is very happy to answer any informal
questions concerning any matter that has not been fully
clarified. He can be contacted on
afcn.nash@radley.org.uk
We have an increasingly diverse pupil intake and we are looking to increase diversity within
our Common Room. We therefore encourage and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
