Post-Graduate Assistant Teacher of Sport
- Job Summary
- Brighton College is seeking to a Post-Graduate Assistant Teacher of Sport, with a specialism in rugby, netball, hockey, cricket football, swimming, or strength and conditioning, to start in August 2026. This is a fixed-term role, until 31 August 2027.The Department
The sports department consists of 10 members of permanent teaching and coaching staff, typically 10+ assistant teachers who support the delivery of the games programme, and a dedicated Sports Logistics Coordinator. It has been responsible for numerous international stars including former cricket Ashes winners and current England, and British and Irish Lions players as well as an impressive list of professional athletes, and British and European champions.
Based in the astonishing new School of Science and Sport, a very wide and varied games programme is offered. All pupils participate in twice weekly games sessions, with supplementary sessions for the representative squads in the core sports of athletics, cricket, football, hockey, netball and rugby. Recent successes include National Rosslyn Park Rugby 7s and St Joseph’s College Festival winners, national netball finalists, numerous international athletics vests, Sussex and South East Hockey League champions at U18 and Sussex County Cricket champions.
Physical Education is also taught as an academic subject from the Lower Fifth (Year 10) upwards. At present we follow the AQA syllabus for GCSE in the Fifth Form and offer a BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Sport in the Sixth Form.
Role SpecificationPGATs are considered integral members of the sport department and will be expected to be assisting with and leading sports sessions from their first day. They will typically be coaching up to 11 games sessions per week and be responsible for at least one competitive team each term, including weekend fixtures. There will also be the opportunity to gain experience of some classroom teaching of academic P.E, under the guidance of the main experienced teacher, as well as assisting in covering for absent colleagues across all College departments.
Away from sport, they will be expected to be a co-tutor for a group of pupils in a house. This involves overseeing registration, pastoral time, parent liaison and report writing, under the guidance of a more experienced colleague. They will also take responsibility for one evening duty per week in the boarding house they are attached to, as well as being involved in delivering other aspects of the boarding programme, such as evening activities in the SSS.
This varied and engaging set of responsibilities generates a wide range of experience which sets PGATs up extremely well for moving onto full teaching roles in due course.
Person SpecificationWe are seeking to appoint a candidate with the ability to coach at least one of a number of our key sports to a good level: rugby, netball, hockey, cricket, football, swimming or has appropriate qualifications and experience in strength and conditioning. The ideal candidate would have participated in their sport through school, clubs or university, either through playing to 1st team level or gaining some coaching experience in these environments.
We expect candidates to be able to demonstrate clear potential to operate effectively in coaching sport to teenagers, delivering pastoral care and making a contribution to other areas of school life. We do not expect candidates to have experience of all these areas, but those without direct experience should make it clear in their application the skills and experiences which will enable them to thrive in these
areas.Candidates typically come to these roles either directly from university, from professional sport or from other employment. Those on a ‘sandwich’ year during a university course will be considered, but the preference is for candidates who might be able to offer more than one year to the College. Candidates who are successful in their first year with us are often supported through an on-the-job PGCE in their second year, enabling them to progress to a full-time teaching role as a fully qualified teacher 24 months after starting.
Ultimately, we are looking for individuals who foster a passion for learning and who can demonstrate an ability and genuine desire to develop pupils to their fullest potential. Successful candidates will be self-reliant and adaptable, with high levels of initiative. Candidates should have a strong academic record, ideally including a degree related to sport, although this is not a necessity if extensive involvement in sport through other means can be demonstrated.

Job Introduction
This is an exciting opportunity to join the ARTIST ROOMS team, delivering the National Touring Exhibition Programme of Tate and National Galleries of Scotland!
As Assistant Collection Registrar, ARTIST ROOMS you will support and coordinate across all aspects of registrarial procedures, spending varied days delivering across loans out, long loans in, documentation, movement, and collection information management, including exhibition planning and delivery in accordance with National Galleries Scotland and Tate policies and to national museum standards
Your experience in a museum environment, proven organisation and planning skills, excellent team working skills and collegiate approach as well as the ability to solve problems pragmatically, creatively and through negotiation, prioritising the care of works sets you apart. You have a positive, flexible approach, and enjoyment of working collaboratively within multi-disciplinary teams and with external partners. You are able to work well under pressure and meet deadlines whilst retaining excellent attention to detail and have the ability and willingness to travel to Edinburgh and partner venues on a regular basis.
Above everything, you will be excited by the challenge of this rewarding role and the contribution you can make towards the realisation of the ARTIST ROOMS programme.
ARTIST ROOMS is a touring collection of international modern and contemporary art jointly owned by National Galleries of Scotland and Tate. The collection reaches audiences across the UK through a national exhibition programme – over 60 million people have visited some 200 ARTIST ROOMS exhibitions that have been shown in museums and galleries across the UK, from Penzance to the Hebrides, and from Belfast to Llandudno over the last decade. We see access to art for everyone as a universal human right and want to welcome audiences that reflect the towns and cities in our nation. ARTIST ROOMS continues to grow and diversify, introducing new artists, collaborations, partnerships and co-produced projects. Touring initiatives enable the national collections to be shared in different ways, from single-venue exhibitions to multi-site touring packages, engaging with large and small organisations in very different contexts, recognising their different needs and those of their audiences. We look for the impact that imaginative collaborations can have on individuals, communities and organisations, and how these enrich the work of National Galleries of Scotland and Tate.
ARTIST ROOMS is operating in an exciting phase, which will see, over the next few years, a shift change in how we work, how we manage the collection and programme and how we provide access to the collection. The catalyst for this is National Galleries of Scotland’s transformative initiative The Art Works, which enables the widest possible access to art to inspire and improve wellbeing and enable more people to enjoy the national collection. The Art Works is a new state-of-the-art home for the national collection, which includes the ARTIST ROOMS collection. The Art Works will also deliver significant wider economic, local community and national benefits. As The Arts Works comes closer to realisation there is a desire to increase operational and collections management presence at National Galleries of Scotland. This role is therefore offered as a fixed term contract based at Tate Modern. Following this period, the aspiration is to rebalance resources between the National Galleries of Scotland and Tate, with a commitment to recruiting a role, to be based in Edinburgh.
This position is offered on a fixed term basis for 22 months.
Please note that this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
Interviews for this role will take place on 4 or 5 March 2026
Our jobs are, like our galleries, open to all.
Tools like ChatGPT can be useful for exploring thoughts, but we ask that the words you share with us are your own.
