Permanent role starting immediately / Spring 2025 (subject to employment checks)
The Assistant Houseparent (AHP) holds an invaluable position within the framework of an outstanding and highly motivated pastoral team. They should be a skilled organiser with strong administration experience, with experience in a residential setting and with the capacity to care for, guide and motivate pupils, while working and living in one of our fifth form boarding houses (ages 14-16). Boarding arrangements are structured horizontally with pupils living in their own year groups. The quality of the care and support pupils receive from the House Staff is of critical importance to the school’s success and to the happiness and future success of our students.
The AHP acts as one third of the full residential cover (evenings, on-call overnights and weekends) alongside the Housemistress (teaching) and Deputy Housemistress (teaching). Additional Pastoral Assistants help to cover the daytime hours while all teaching staff carry out one evening duty in their allocated house per week.
The salary for this role is set at £25,168 (due for increase in April 2025). It is a full-time contract (paid for 52 weeks of the year), working 35 term time weeks per year, with all school holiday weeks recognised as annual leave.
The AHPs work is not of a nature which lends itself to the rigid definition of hours.
We look forward to receiving applications from teaching candidates who are ready to embrace the full and varied life of a busy boarding school; caring for, guiding and supporting our students.
