Absolutely. Independent schools rely on a wide range of professionals beyond the classroom. You’ll find vacancies in administration, finance, estates and maintenance, catering, marketing and communications, ICT, and other essential support services.

Yes. SherbertJobs focuses exclusively on roles within the independent education sector. You can search opportunities in prep, senior, all-through, and international independent schools using our filtering options. Our platform connects professionals with leading independent schools across the UK and beyond.
Independent schools offer distinctive working environments where staff are supported to deliver high-quality education and contribute to the wider life of the school. Class sizes are typically smaller, pastoral care is prioritised, and teachers often have the opportunity to be involved in co-curricular activities such as sport, music, and drama. Many schools also benefit from excellent facilities and a strong sense of community, making them rewarding and fulfilling places to work.
SherbertJobs is managed by Pressburst, a trusted provider of recruitment and communications solutions for independent school associations. We work closely with leading organisations in the sector to promote career opportunities across a network of high-quality schools.
