Cheltenham Ladies’ College welcomes pupils from leading Japanese schools to improve their English during the summer months. Each summer school comprises of between 25-40 Japanese girls, aged 15-17 years. The pupils have English lessons, but also have a busy itinerary of excursions and extra-curricular activities. We aim to give the pupils a taste of what it is like to study at a leading British boarding school.

They will have pastoral responsibility for the students during their stay, and are responsible for making sure our guests are safe, happy and participating in all activities.

The Course Assistants will stay in a boarding house with the students and as such accommodation will be provided for the duration of the contract, and meals when on duty.

Successful candidates will have the ability to speak English clearly, coherently and confidently to large groups of people and will have a flexible attitude with the ability to work potentially unsociable hours.

Course Assistants will be ambassadors of Cheltenham Ladies’ College and therefore their conduct should reflect College’s values and ethics.

We welcome female applicants only as this is a girls’ residential summer school. This is a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with schedule 9, part 1 of the Equality Act.

Interviews are set to take place week commencing 16 March 2026.
