Christ's Hospital

Christ's Hospital is a large, charity funded, boarding school. We employ over 450 staff and have a diverse range of employment opportunities, ranging from plumbers and electricians to nurses, accountants, and pool lifeguards as well as teachers. Everyone employed by Christ’s Hospital, has a direct or indirect impact on the pupils who live and study here. We are a unique institution with a unique history and mission and you can find out more by browsing our website and reading our various publications.

As Christ’s Hospital is a 24 hour operation during school term times, we do require some flexibility from those who work here; indeed, some of the roles within the organisation (usually those in direct contact with children, such as teaching and pastoral staff) are live-in. Other roles require early starts, later finishes, term-time or part-time as well as across the whole year working. Each role is different and will have its own set of conditions attached to it which are detailed in the advertisement and job description.

Christ’s Hospital welcomes applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. We consider the most important factor to be the right skills, abilities and attitude for the job which will ultimately improve the well-being and education of the pupils. 

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK for the duration of the contract. We are members of the Schools Inclusion Alliance and hold the Rainbow Flag Award.

In return, as an employee of Christ’s Hospital, you can expect to benefit from discounted membership of the on-site Sports Centre which has excellent facilities, including a fully equipped indoor and outdoor gyms, indoor swimming pool and tennis and squash courts. The centre also runs a variety of fitness classes such as pilates, aerobics, yoga and racket lessons. Staff also benefit from a free lunch during school term-times, upwards from 23 days holiday per year (depending on your working pattern and role within the organisation) and access to a stakeholder pension scheme (after a qualifying period of service). There is free parking available on site for staff and Christ’s Hospital is one of the few schools in the country with its own train station which is on the Southern network running between London Victoria and Brighton.
