Brentwood Senior School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 35 minutes from London Liverpool Street.

We are seeking to appoint a CCF Quartermaster (QM) and Outdoor Education Assistant (Maternity Cover) whose principal role is to facilitate and administer military and adventurous training to all members of the CCF.

Brentwood School CCF is amongst the oldest and largest in the country with over 600 cadets. The CCF is a key USP of the school and an important part of our role in the community alongside its role in developing the students as responsible and skilled young adults.

The school runs a tri-service Contingent with large numbers in each of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force sections. The Quartermaster is a key CCF staff member, and this role also supports other aspects of our Outdoor Education programme under the direction of the Head of Outdoor Education. The division of time is approximately 3 days focused on CCF tasks and 2 days focused on Outdoor Education tasks, although the needs of each term can shift.

Staff term time (equivalent to 175 days) plus 36 days out of term requirements. Hours typically 8am-5pm (to include 1 hour unpaid for lunch) with scope for flexibility (such as some days 7am-4pm or 9-6pm as agreed in advance with the Contingent Commander and Head of Outdoor Education).

Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector and we also have a range of subsidised staff accommodation that may be available for the successful applicant should they need to relocate.

Applications can be submitted through the TES website, alternatively, applicants who do not have a TES account should use the relevant Interactive Recruitment Form on this page. The School reserves the right to change these dates, and to close the vacancy at any time.
