One of the founding cadet forces in the country, Tonbridge has a proud tradition of offering the boys the opportunity to develop their leadership and teamwork skills through the CCF.
With Army, Navy and RAF sections, there is a wide range of opportunities available to the boys, from military skills like drill and weapon handling, to sailing, SCUBA diving and the chance to fly light aircraft.
The centrepiece of each year is the Annual General Inspection, where the three sections provide displays of kit and equipment, and demonstrate the skills which they have developed throughout the year, attended by a Reviewing Officer and several hundred guests including servicemen and children from local primary schools. Other highlights include two field days and up to four contingent-led camps each year, as well as participation in cadet competitions covering both military skills and marksmanship.
The School Staff Instructor will report to the CCF Adjutant and Contingent Commander, helping with the day-to-day management and administration of the CCF and delivering the CCF training programme.
The successful candidate will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a positive ‘can do’ attitude. They should have previous and recent experience of working with young people in a team environment, ideally in a similar role.
This is a part time, term time post of 34 term time weeks, plus an additional 4 weeks during the holidays. The total working hours are 16 per week on two nominated days, one of which is a Wednesday, from 9:00am to 6:00pm each day, with a one-hour unpaid lunch break.
There will also be an additional 20 days per annum allocated in respect of CCF-related activities, which will be worked across the year and may fall out of term time.
Closing date: Friday 11 September at 10am
We reserve the right to interview and appoint before the closing date, therefore early applications are encouraged.
Tonbridge 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.
