This role is to support the boarding and teaching staff to facilitate the active participation of students in the academic and social activities of the School. The successful candidates must be interested in the pastoral care of students and be keen to enjoy and participate in all aspects of a boarding school life.

This is a residential post. This is a demanding role where the working day consists of Teaching Assistant duties within the timetable and includes morning, evening and weekend duties in boarding.
