Deputy Head of House

The Role

We are:

A lively and purposeful co-educational, comprehensive state boarding school for children aged 7 to 18 years, with approximately 670 flexi-boarders and 430 full boarders. The school is a popular choice for local families who attend on our flexi boarding package, as well as for full boarders from further afield in the UK and internationally. This is due to a wide range of factors including our facilities, academic pathways and results, pastoral care, the boarding and flexi-boarding ethos and environment, wide range of trips and co-curricular activities and the resultant attitudes of its pupils. 

We offer:

• Professional, supportive and committed staff team
• Beautiful estate set in 260 acres of parkland
• Convenient location, close to the A23 and M25

This is ideal experience for future teachers or for those who wish to pursue a career related to working with young people. This is residential post and could be used as a steppingstone to a PGCE course or other work within a school environment. 

Suitable applicants should have experience of working with young people in some capacity. You will need to support the Head of House in the day to day running of the Boarding House. There will be opportunities for you to involve yourself in our broad and varied co-curricular programme.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, experienced and flexible individual to join our dedicated and friendly team.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is understanding, kind and supportive and with an excellent sense of humour
