JACT Classics Camp is seeking tutors and a director's assistant for 2027!
About Us
JACT Classics Camp is a six-day residential summer school for learners aged 16 to 19, held at Denstone College in Staffordshire. Our 2027 dates are 26th-31st July.
The camp offers an intensive and supportive environment for studying Latin, Greek, Classical Civilisation, and Ancient History, with a programme that is reviewed and expanded each year. Students can choose from a wide range of topics, from Ancient Persia and Greek Religion to Love Poetry and Plato’s Philosophy, alongside structured language teaching for both beginners and advanced learners. The camp experience includes academic sessions, guest lectures, a university fair, quizzes, and student-produced plays, fostering both intellectual curiosity and a strong sense of community.
Supported by the Joint Association of Classical Teachers and local Classical Associations, JACT Classics Camp provides generous bursaries to ensure broad access and attracts many students who return year after year.

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.
