The Vacancy We are now accepting applications for our Graduate Teaching Assistant programme, starting September 2025
If you have a passion for teaching and learning, and are keen to experience life working at a busy co-educational boarding school then becoming a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Marlborough College could be for you.
You will be expected to teach up to three classes, with appropriate training and mentoring support.
As well as coaching sport in the afternoon and on match days, you will also have the opportunity to tutor in one of our sixteen Boarding Houses.
Marlborough's vibrant community of Graduate Assistants are an invaluable part of College life; supporting pupils within and beyond the classroom.
A key element of this rewarding opportunity is to encourage and mentor pupils on and off campus ensuring that their health, safety and welfare are protected.

You will ideally have an enthusiasm and interest in sport, be energetic, and have a natural rapport with young people as well as a genuine interest in, and commitment to, their care and development.
Joining us for an academic year, you will be immersed in the life of a busy boarding school with a salary package that includes accommodation and all meals during term-time, but more importantly offers a fantastic opportunity and fulfilling experience.

As our current school year progresses we get a better understanding of our needs for the next year, and we will then reach out to the applicants whose skillsets match that profile.
Interviews may be offered throughout the recruitment period, up to and including the period following the closure of the role.

Marlborough College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the College is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children."
