Gap Student (Prep School Boarding)
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Cheltenham College Preparatory School seeks to appoint a number of Gap Students for a fixed period of one year from either: September 2025 to August 2026 or January 2026 to December 2026
The role would be ideal for sixth-form/college leavers who are considering future careers in education and are keen to gain all-round experience of day-to-day school and boarding life.
The ideal candidates are expected to be energetic, with high levels of integrity, responsibility and organisation skills as well as the ability to work supportively and encouragingly with the pupils in our care.
Applicants should be prepared to join a hard-working team; they will be living in the boarding provision alongside the staff and pupils and will get so much more out of the role if they throw themselves into it whole heartedly.
The majority of a Gap students time will be taken up with providing support and supervision whether it be assisting in Games, PE, Art, D&T and the Pre-Prep lessons or helping with the care of the boarders (particularly during mornings, evenings and weekends).
Applicants must have a mature attitude as it is vital that Gap Students are aware of the School Child Protection and Behaviour policies and know what is expected of children and staff and, if called for, appropriately reporting incidents of concern.
