We are seeking to appoint a temporary CCF Assistant to support the work of the CCF Training Officer in the professional running of the CCF. The ideal candidate will possess excellent administrative skills, attention to detail, and a strong ability to manage multiple tasks in a busy environment. Previous experience in an educational setting or working with youth organisations is desirable, along with a commitment to fostering a supportive and engaging atmosphere for cadets. The position is available on part-time basis, during term-time. Flexibility is required due to weekend and overnight activities for CCF. The appointee must volunteer to serve in the CCF and be enrolled as a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer (at the rank of Staff School Instructor.).

CLS was named by the Sunday Times as London Independent Secondary School of the Year 2020, and occupies fine, modern buildings near St. Pauls Cathedral overlooking the Thames, opposite the Tate Modern. There are impressive off-site sports facilities in south east London.

CLS is fully committed to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. We have a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Forum for staff, and another for pupils, which are used to help drive progress forward.

It is a top priority for the School that we both attract and retain a staff body that is not only excellent, but also reflects the London community within which we live, and our diverse pupil body. As such, it is of paramount importance to the School that we acknowledge our current imbalance and seek to rectify this. We are therefore particularly keen to encourage applications from candidates who have African Caribbean, Asian or other Minority Ethnic or mixed heritage. All appointments are merit-based, following a fair, transparent recruitment process. In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates demonstrate the ability to perform the role equally well.

City of London School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Further information about the School and a copy of the most recent ISI Inspection report are available on the school website.

We reserve the right to appoint before this deadline and encourage early submission.

Closing date: 31 December 2024 (12am)
