Resident Graduate Teaching Assistant for Ceramics and Art

Start: September 2026

Induction Day: 1 September 2026

Contract: Fixed for one academic year

A varied and fulfilling role that offers invaluable experience of working in our beautiful and vibrant Art department. Responsibilities include ceramic technician work including kiln management, some teaching of extra-curricular ceramics clubs, in class support across the disciplines. There is the potential to be active in the planning and delivery of ceramic specific teaching. The successful candidate may also choose to develop their own practice outside of lesson times and facilities will be available for this purpose. Responsibilities will also involve various boarding and school duties.

This is an exciting opportunity for those in tune with our approach to education in search of gaining experience of working in a boarding and day school for one academic year, perhaps prior to embarking on a PGCE course or taking up a teaching position. Due to the boarding element of this role, it is a residential post, so we would expect the successful candidates to live in accommodation on site.
