Governess-Governor
*Please only apply to this role if you are a qualified teacher*

A busy, high-achieving household in Regent’s Park is looking for a sporty, academically strong manny/nanny to join their team. The family has five children (B3, B5, B7, G9 and G11), and the ideal candidate will combine professional teaching experience with a passion for sport, fitness and child development.

Why this role is unique
The family is specifically looking for someone who can elevate the children’s sporting ability. A background in PE, coaching or high-level sport is essential. This is not just supervising play - the family wants someone who can add to the children's coaching sessions, build the children’s confidence, and help them progress in tennis, football and athletics.
Alongside this, the candidate must have a strong teaching foundation (PGCE required) to support homework, guide study habits, and adapt their approach to different ages and personalities.
You will work alongside another nanny and will be expected to take ownership of the children’s schedules, routines and extracurricular planning.

Schedule
Monday–Wednesday: 12pm–8pm
Thursday–Friday: OFF
Saturday–Sunday: 8:30am–8pm
Flexibility is needed during school holidays and for occasional international travel.

Key Responsibilities
- Plan and lead age-appropriate sports sessions (tennis, football, athletics).
- Use your teaching background to support homework, revision and general learning.
- Run children’s schedules: clubs, fixtures, training, playdates and weekend activities.
- Work collaboratively with the existing nanny to ensure smooth daily routines.
- Provide structure, boundaries and positive behaviour management.
- Organise healthy meals/snacks and reinforce good nutrition and active living.
- Support with packing, school admin, kit prep and general household organisation relating to the children.
- Travel with the family when needed.

Candidate Requirements
- PGCE-qualified (non-negotiable).
- Strong PE/sports specialism or experience coaching children.
- Confident across multiple sports, ideally including tennis, football and athletics.
- Able to motivate, challenge and bring out the best in children with varying abilities.
- Highly organised; able to manage five children’s schedules calmly and efficiently.
- Knowledge of nutrition and healthy living.
- Energetic, proactive, resilient and genuinely enthusiastic about sport and education.
