School Staff Instructor (SSI) - The Phoenix Collegiate

Phoenix is looking to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic person to manage the smooth running, effective administration and ongoing expansion of the Combined Cadet Force and Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme in school. The CCF at Phoenix has grown and developed considerably over the past few years to include RAF, Royal Navy and Royal Marines Sections and we now have access to exceptional facilities on site, including a purpose-built assault course and air rifle range. 

Primarily, candidates must demonstrate excellent organisational, administrative and interpersonal skills, with a proven record of managing multiple tasks and workstreams, meeting imposed deadlines and working with colleagues and partners to achieve goals and objectives. 

Ideally, applicants will have experience of working within the Armed Forces or CCF (for example as an  Officer/SNCO in the Armed Forces or as an active member or leader of a CCF or ACF (or tri-service equivalent), and will have undertaken training in disciplines relating to CCF/D of E activities. However,  this is not essential and the school will facilitate personal development opportunities to enhance capabilities and develop knowledge of the military over time. In this regard, candidates should be aware that they will be expected to obtain Instructor qualifications and participate in field activities and expeditions to support students, as an integral part of the role.  

For an informal discussion about the role and our plans for the future, or to arrange to visit the School, please contact Sqn Ldr Luke Horobin on 0121 558 8384 extension 120 or via email at luke.horobin@phoenix.sandwell.sch.uk

Phoenix is committed to the protection and safety of its students.  An enhanced DBS will be required before commencement in the post.
