Job Description

About The Putney School: Putney is a progressive boarding school for 230 hardworking and curious students in Putney, Vermont. Hands-on learning is embedded in the school’s culture: a working dairy farm, expansive arts offerings, a robust work program, miles of wooded trails, and large solar arrays serve our curriculum.

  • Ensure that safety rules and regulations are understood and followed by all.

Qualifications:

  • A strong background in cross-country skiing (classic and skate techniques), an understanding of ski waxing and preparation, and previous coaching experience are required.
  • First aid/CPR/AED certification is required, as well as CDC Concussion Training.
