Vacancies & Employment Opportunities
If the great outdoors is your thing, then Sedbergh is the perfect base for new adventures. Whether your passion is walking or running through the Howgill Fells, exploring the beautiful Lake District, kayaking on the local lakes and rivers, caving around Ingleton or climbing at one of the many outdoor and indoor locations. Why spend your free time travelling to the fun when you could be living and working here.
The magnificent location of Sedbergh means pupils can enjoy school life in a safe, healthy and dynamic environment. The opportunities for outdoor activities are almost unlimited – from a walk in the hills to mountain biking, or the calm of fishing to the challenge of caving. While academic study is central for every pupil the experiences of a Sedberghian are not confined to the classroom.
Sedbergh is a School where pupils are presented with a huge range of opportunity. It is a School which expects its pupils to seize the opportunity or, better, create the opportunity. It is our firm belief that it is much better to try something and fail rather than avoiding something because of the fear of failing. This culture ultimately breeds a positive attitude and greatly increases the likelihood of success.
Our latest vacancies are listed below. Please be aware that we reserve the right to close any of our vacancies early if we have received suitable applications. We therefore encourage you to apply at your earliest convenience.
