Hill House School requires someone to lead Hockey at the school, inspiring a love of the sport in both girls and boys while setting the highest standards throughout the age range. An ability to also coach one of the school’s summer sports and to teach some general PE would be an advantage. The Sports Department plays a central role in the life of the school, with 12 members of teaching staff. In addition, a number of other staff members coach sport and take teams. Sport is led by the Director of Sport, supported by heads of the main sports. The school has a competitive fixture list; we are county champions in Girls’ and Boys’ Hockey at most age groups and have had recent regional and national successes in Hockey, as well as Boys’ and Girls’ Rugby. Pupils enjoy a sport-friendly timetable, including Games afternoons, Games and PE lessons, opportunities for Strength and Conditioning, and a full programme of sporting activities after school. A standard week would see approximately 30 fixtures played against other schools, ranging from elite 1st team sport to B, C, and even D teams. Many pupils also play hockey at Doncaster and Rotherham Hockey Clubs and South Yorkshire, with several being selected annually for the Yorkshire Performance Centre, which is hosted at the school. The successful candidate will be an excellent coach and inspiring teacher, with an interest in pupil recruitment being important, including within our successful programme of Sports Scholarships. The ability to manage and develop fruitful links with county and club organisations would also be advantageous.
