We have a fantastic new position at LEH for a Director of Performance Sport. This newly created post

LEH, that ensures pupils have the opportunity to compete and succeed at the highest level.

You will take the leading role in developing a new sector leading pupil performance programme for sport
at LEH and, working closely with the Director of Sport, develop and implement a plan for sport facilities
and resources to support high performance. With experience of competing/coaching at an elite level in
one of our school sports (lacrosse, netball, swimming, tennis, cricket or athletics) you will bring an
understanding of all aspects of high performance, including the importance sports science, to underpin
the work that you do.

The successful candidate will lead and manage the Head Coaches for our school sports, working with the
team to promote a culture of ambition and excellence. We welcome applications from those with an
established career in sporting excellence, and this would include teachers and those from other
professions.

What we offer:
• LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site west of London. It has a vibrant and diverse
community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across
an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama.
• We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s
swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library services.

Safeguarding Statement:
All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated
activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have
additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff
will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving
around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the
welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and
procedures at all times.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to
ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they
are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young
people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to
undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring
Service (DBS).
