Detail

We have an exciting opportunity for three Gap Students to join our enthusiastic, collaborative and hard-working team for the Academic Year 2025 - 26. You will be involved in all aspects of school life and will work with children ranging from Nursery age to Year 8. This is a busy and rewarding job that would be particularly beneficial for someone considering a career working with children and young people. This is not an essential goal for applicants though. We are looking for people who can use their own initiative, and have a can-do attitude, the willingness to learn as well as the ability to work as part of a team.

At St Hugh’s we aim to give all our children the highest academic and pastoral support in a friendly environment in which each child can discover what they are good at and, therefore, thrive and gain confidence in themselves.

We offer excellent benefits, including a competitive salary, an outstanding working environment in our beautiful estate with easy access to transport links, and being part of our vibrant and supportive community.

To apply, please complete and return the gap student application form which can be found on https://www.st-hughs.co.uk/news/staff-vacancies to recruitment@st-hughs.co.uk. This should include a supporting statement outlining the extent to which you meet our requirements as set out in the job description and person specification, and details of two referees (either employers or school leaders). Please indicate on your application form the terms that you are available to work as we are particularly interested in applications from people looking for a full school year. References may be taken up before interview. Online social media checks will be completed on shortlisted candidates prior to interview as part of the KCSIE guidance.

Full details of our staff benefits and recruitment procedures can be found on our School recruitment page at https://www.st-hughs.co.uk/news/staff-vacancies

Applications will be considered on receipt and should arrive no later than midday on Friday 31st January 2025. Interviews will take place in the morning on Thursday 27th February, Thursday 6th March and Friday 7th March 2025. We reserve the right to interview at any point during the recruitment process so early applications are encouraged.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and all appointments are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (including a check against the Children’s Barred List), and other pre-employment screening including a check on the Secretary of State list of prohibited staff.
