Job Opportunities

Working at St Edmund's College and St Edmund's Prep

As a large senior and prep school, we have many opportunities for both teaching and non-teaching staff. We can offer employees the following:

A stunning setting in beautiful Hertfordshire countryside

The school is situated in 440 acres of parkland, with stunning views at every turn, providing a wonderful environment for staff. The imposing buildings complement the surroundings. Located six miles north of the quiet market town of Ware, St Edmund's is quiet but not isolated, being only an hour from London and Cambridge.

A sense of true community with a clarity of vision and values

The College has a very proud Catholic tradition which dates back to the 16^th century. This is best reflected in its glorious Pugin chapel. More importantly, it makes this School a special place with a caring heart in an increasingly frenetic world. Achievement for all focuses our activities with the intellectual, sporting, cultural, spiritual and personal growth of the students as its mission.

A happy staff room with a talented, committed and friendly staff

The staff at St Edmund's pride themselves on their positive outlook and sense of humour. New members of staff are made very welcome and settle quickly. There is always a supportive colleague to be found. The College is an exciting place to work with many new developments taking place and yet it retains a sense of the core values of education. 

Friendly students who respond to their teachers

The students are a diverse group of positive and amenable children. They are happy and confident with many talents and the wide number of extra-curricular activities they take part in demonstrates those talents. We maintain small class sizes, with the support of Assistants throughout the School.

A place to grow

There are many opportunities to develop your teaching career, with a well thought out INSET programme and there is a programme in place to support NQTs. Laptops are provided for all staff to use and innovation in all aspects of teaching is encouraged.

A lively boarding community for the 11-16 Year olds

The boarders are an asset to the College and come from the UK and many different countries. Family or single accommodation may be available for teachers and is provided in return for support of the boarding community through duties.

We also offer:

• Free use of College's extensive leisure and sporting facilities
• Free daily lunch, plus tea and coffee at break times
• A programme of annual social events
• Free on-site parking
• School Infirmary on-site

Child Welfare
St Edmund's College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff to share this commitment. All appointments are therefore subject to an enhanced CRB check.
