Staff vacancies
We are committed to recruiting, developing and retaining high calibre teaching and non-teaching staff for our outstanding HMC school. All our staff, regardless of role, play an important part in the provision of our first-class education. We employ teachers who are conscientious, imaginative and committed to educating the whole person. Our continuous professional development scheme provides all academic staff with an opportunity to reflect on their practice and continue to develop their teaching and pastoral skills to the benefit of all pupils. We expect teachers to be fully involved in the extra-curricular life of our school too, encouraging pupils in their wider development through music, sport, drama, art, CCF, clubs, societies and trips. Sometimes these are out-of-hours, at weekends or during school holidays. Our non-teaching staff fill a wide variety of roles, both part-time and full-time and some of them term-time only. They are very much part of our wider team and contribute to, and benefit from, the happy and positive feel of our school.
The School recognises that an important element in safeguarding our pupils is a robust recruitment process that incorporates measures to deter, reject, or identify people who might abuse children, or who are otherwise unsuited to work with them. In addition, recent government guidance, “Safeguarding Children – Keeping Children Safe in Education Sept 2023, specifically Part 3”, as well as specific guidance from the National Minimum Standards for Boarding Schools, help to form the basis of school policy.

Alumni Officer
Application Deadline: 11/10/24
To start as soon as possible, we seek to appoint an organised and confident person to the position of Alumni Officer.
The role is about connecting alumni, (known as Old Kimboltonians or OKs), to the school and to each other, primarily through communications and events.
The successful candidate is likely to have a good knowledge of Kimbolton School, with the post ideally suiting someone who is an Old Kimboltonian, or who has strong links with the School, although this would not preclude an applicant who is not an OK from being appointed. You must have strong administrative and organisational skills, alongside experience of setting up and organising meetings and events, liaising with stakeholders both internally and externally. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, together with experience of social media, and of working with databases, are essential for the role.
For further details about this exciting opportunity, please email a letter of application, together with the completed Application Form to: Human Resources, Kimbolton School, Kimbolton, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire PE28 0EA at recruitment@kimbolton.cambs.sch.uk.
The closing date for applications is: 09:30am Friday 11th October 2024
Interviews will be held on either Tuesday 15th October or Wednesday 16th October 2024
