House Tutors

Each one of our nine boarding houses has one or two resident non-teaching tutors. These are usually graduates who are thinking about a career in teaching and who wish to try out working with children before undertaking teacher training.

While we do not have any vacancies at the moment, we are always interested in hearing from people interested in such posts.

Please contact Carl Bingham, Deputy Head, with your cv to register your interest. Carlbingham@gatton-park.org.uk



Exam Invigilators

Invigilators are required for exams in January, March and May/June/July.

For morning exams, an 8.00 start is required and for afternoons a 1.00 start, to allow for preparations in the exam room. Finish times would depend upon the length of the papers, but invigilators would also be expected to deal with administrative duties afterwards, checking and preparing papers for despatch.

£8.00 per hour

Completed application forms should be emailed to hr@gatton-park.org.uk



Graduate Teacher Programme

The School recruits up to four GTP trainees each year, with a preference for applicants who are already working at the School as Learning Support Assistants or in similar roles.

We are always interested in applicants who have at least a 2 1 Honours degree and of course, a GCSE pass in English and Maths.

Such candidates need to obtain a fully funded GTP place so that the cost of training is covered and the School receives a grant towards the salary to be paid during the training year.

Applicants who only receive a training grant are sometimes accepted though they have to work as unpaid volunteers for the year. We have also had two GTPs who financed their own training costs while working as volunteers.



Please note that we do NOT have any vacancies for September 2012 as they have all been filled already.



If you are interested in a post for 2013 then please contact the Headmaster by e-mail.



Applicants from outside the UK should understand that they will be required to teach a demonstration lesson in school as part of the recruitment process for teaching posts, so we do not interview by Skype. It is also important to note that we do not pay travel expenses for overseas travel.

Gap Students. Please note that we do not employ GAP students.

Before applying you might wish to read information for applicants by the Headmaster.
