The Pastoral Housemistress ensures that the boarding house is a safe, well-ordered, and welcoming environment where boys thrive both personally and academically. From day one, you will act as a trusted figure for pupils, offering guidance and support while maintaining the smooth daily running of the house.
The ideal candidate will:
- Demonstrate a warm and approachable personality, with a genuine interest in the wellbeing of teenage boys.
- Possess excellent organisational skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team.
- Show flexibility, resilience, and an understanding, tolerant nature.

Benefits include self-contained accommodation provided throughout the year and a generous school holiday allowance.
This is a demanding yet highly rewarding role, offering the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the lives of our pupils. If you possess the necessary skills and attributes, we would be delighted to receive your application.
