Careers
Highfield and Brookham is a very special place to work. Our working environment is stunning, and our Head leads a dynamic team of talented teachers and dedicated support staff. Above all, everyone working at Highfield and Brookham is friendly, welcoming and committed to providing the very best education for the children at the school.
I have never worked in a school where the children are able to spread their wings, and be offered such incredible experiences by staff who care so deeply for their subjects.
Resident Graduate Assistants
Are you an enthusiastic and caring individual, seeking an exciting challenge? We are looking for individuals to take on this role from September 2025 until early July 2026 but we would consider applications from candidates who are looking to work for one or two terms, rather than the full academic year.
Working as part of the Residential Team, the successful applicants will be engaged in the classroom, on the games field and in the Boarding Houses. You will need to be caring, enthusiastic, with a zest for life and a commitment to work as part of a team. In return, we offer a fun and enriching environment in which to work and live. Working under the leadership of the Director of Boarding, you will be based either in the Junior Boarding House, home to up to 18 boys and girls aged between 8 and 10 years or in our Senior Boarding House which houses up to 70 boys and 63 girls from 10 to 13 years.
In the Junior Boarding House, the children live within a family setting, with the Houseparents and their family living downstairs. The children enjoy a home-from-home set up and the Graduates will play a key role in their pastoral care, alongside the Houseparents and non-resident house tutors. In the Senior Boarding House the Graduates will work as part of a team looking after the children and ensuring their time at the school is enjoyable, safe, caring and stimulating. During the school day you will be involved in supporting children in lessons, supporting the Games provision and have the chance to become involved in many different areas of the curriculum.
Single accommodation will be provided within the Senior Boarding House, home to around 130 children and a further 10 members of the residential staff. Meals will be taken free of charge during term time. Ideally the successful candidate will have their own transport and enjoy playing of have experience of coaching sport.
