About this Role

Starting from September 2026, we seek to appoint a friendly and approachable House Matron who will take charge of domestic matters within the boarding unit that houses approximately 20 (with a maximum of 30) young men aged 11-18 years.

In addition to house management duties, the ideal candidate will work with the resident House Parents with pastoral responsibilities and health care duties.

The ideal candidate must have people management experience, hold a UK driving licence and have use of their own car. You must have a positive upbeat attitude, hands on approach and capable of making decisions. Previous experience of boarding schools or residential care would be desirable.

This is a full time, term time position (42.5 hours per week, 38.4 weeks per year). However, the School lets the boarding facilities from time to time during the holidays. The House Matron may wish to work during these periods for extra remuneration.

Further details on this position and a full job description can be found in the attached application pack.

The safeguarding responsibilities of this role are clearly outlined in the application pack, and candidates are requested to make themselves aware of these requirements if considering an application.
