Working at Hurst

Hurst is one of Britain’s leading independent schools, offering a vibrant and supportive environment for both pupils and staff. With almost 1,300 pupils across our Senior and Prep Schools, we combine academic ambition with a strong sense of community and a rich co-curricular programme. With Pennthorpe School newly joining the Hurst family, it is an exciting time to be part of the team.

Hurst is a place of genuine momentum. From the classroom to the sports field, and the theatre to the boarding house, life here is rich, varied, and relentlessly rewarding. The College has invested significantly in its Performing Arts facilities, with a professionally specified theatre seating up to 331, supporting casts of 80, and forming part of a thriving department of Drama, Dance and Music, where Drama is a popular subject studied by all pupils at Key Stage 3 and widely chosen at GCSE and A Level.

Ours is a community that sets its sights on excellence, not as a destination, but as a daily habit. The people who thrive here are those who bring the same ambition, resilience, and commitment that we ask of our pupils.

You’ll enjoy working in a stunning rural setting while remaining well-connected. We’re just 20 minutes from the city and beaches of Brighton & Hove, and London is under an hour away by train.

This isn’t just a job. It’s a commitment to something bigger. For the right person, there is nowhere more exciting to be.
