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. Employees are also part of an intentional residential experience that values belonging and community. We seek applicants who find joy in their work and help others realize how much fun authentic, student-centered learning can be.

  • Plan, organize, and conduct daily practice sessions, Monday through Friday, for the Winter Trimester, as well as coaching races on Wednesdays and/or Saturdays when applicable.
  • Encourage, motivate, and train students of all abilities and backgrounds to develop skiing skills in both classic and skate techniques, as well as teamwork, discipline, and good sportsmanship.
  • 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.
  • Prior experience working with teenagers preferred.
