Your safety comes first — read before you go. Taf4All only lists job offers published by third parties. We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

St Andrew's School, Turi, is a prestigious international Christian boarding school in Kenya, offering a British Curriculum education to approximately 550 pupils. The school is divided into two semi-autonomous sections: a Preparatory School for children aged 3 to 13 and a Senior School for students aged 13 to 18. We are currently seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Syce/Groom and Riding Assistant to join our Equestrian Department.

This full-time position is ideal for someone passionate about horse care, enjoys working with young people, and thrives in a supportive team environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for the daily care and management of horses, including mucking out stables, feeding, grooming, and monitoring their health. You will also assist in riding lessons and hacks, lead horses and ponies, and support instructors to ensure the safety and enjoyment of students during equestrian activities.

In addition, you will maintain the cleanliness and organisation of the stable yards, tack rooms, and equipment, assist with paddock and arena upkeep, and perform general yard tasks. You will work collaboratively with colleagues, covering duties when needed, and assist the farrier and veterinary team as required. The working hours are five weekdays on a split shift (7:00am to 11:00am and 2:00pm to 6:00pm) plus one weekend day per week (6:30am to 9:00am and 3:00pm to 5:30pm). Additional overtime may be available.

Applicants must be competent riders in all gaits (walk, trot, canter, and gallop) and confident handling a variety of horses and ponies. Experience in daily horse care and management is essential. You should be comfortable working with children and young people in a riding school environment and be a positive team player. The ideal candidate will be passionate about horse welfare, patient, calm, and professional around children, hardworking, dependable, and punctual, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

If you meet these qualifications and are excited to contribute to a busy and friendly equestrian department, we encourage you

Expert Application Advice

When preparing your application for St Andrew’s School, don't just list your degree—show how you've applied it. If the posting mentions les compétences demandées dans l'annonce, give one concrete classroom or volunteer example where you met that challenge. It makes your profile memorable and relevant.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Learner outcomes — Pass rates, student progression, curricula developed: quantify your pedagogical impact. If you use digital tools, demonstrate that you use the data to adapt your teaching.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
