Wellington College Prep
Wellington College Prep is a joyful, energetic and nurturing community where children develop curiosity, confidence and character. Our staff play a central role in shaping this environment, and we are now seeking a Sports Assistant on a fixed term basis who will contribute to the life of the school with enthusiasm, warmth and a genuine commitment to young people. Located in Crowthorne, Berkshire, with train and bus links providing easy access to transport connections, the Prep School is a vibrant setting in which every day brings new opportunities to inspire and support our pupils.
This is a wonderfully varied role at the heart of a busy boarding and day school. You will play an active part in daily school life, supporting children across sport, the classroom and the wider curriculum. Working closely with our PE and Games Department, you will help to foster a positive sporting culture, assist with lessons, contribute to the coaching of teams, and support the organisation of fixtures and activities. You will also engage with younger pupils in the classroom, offering guidance, encouragement and practical support that helps them to thrive both academically and personally. Starting in September 2026, this is a fixed term opportunity for the 26/27 academic year.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our boarding community is central to Prep School life, and you will contribute to this by joining the duty rota, helping to create a welcoming and safe environment for boarders, and supporting colleagues during evenings and occasional weekends. Whether assisting with activities, supervising routines or accompanying trips, you will help ensure children feel secure and cared for during every part of their day.
Life at a boarding and day school is rewarding, collaborative and full of shared purpose. You will work alongside colleagues who are dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for every child, and you will be encouraged to bring your own strengths, interests and ideas to the role. Professional development is valued here, and you will be supported to grow your skills through training, mentoring and wider school involvement. Accommodation is available during term time and holidays, with meals provided in our dining hall.
