An inspirational and enthusiastic Sports Coach is required to assist with our senior school groups during a Wednesday Games afternoon. The successful candidate will possess an excellent knowledge of Hockey, Netball and/or Cricket as well as coaching experience. The role will involve coaching during term time on a Wednesday afternoon (1.40 - 3.40pm). Taking teams to matches and umpiring will also be required on occasions.
This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a clear passion for sport to assist our highly experienced PE department. Ideally you will have coached to a high standard and will possess a coaching certificate in either hockey, netball or cricket. Additionally, you will demonstrate an ability to motivate and challenge students. The ability to drive a school minibus is also advantageous as pupils need to be transported from school to fixtures, as well as offsite training facilities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
