We are seeking to employ a full-time, primarily non-teaching Boarding House Parent to manage the girls’ boarding house which accommodates pupils from 10-18 years of age. This is a key role within the College and follows the increasing development and popularity of boarding. The successful candidate will have a genuine passion for working with young people.
The post comes with accommodation, which is available all year round, and applications from teaching and non-teaching backgrounds are both welcome. Please note that this is a primarily a non-teaching role and, whilst applications from teachers are welcomed, we cannot guarantee a teaching timetable.
The House Parent is responsible to the Head of Boarding for the academic, pastoral and spiritual welfare of the boarders in the House, for their discipline and moral guidance. The House Parent is also responsible for the safety, hygiene and sound maintenance of the House.
The role is described best as being “in loco parentis” and is expected to offer the same level of care and attention as a good parent.
The House Parent provides a personal link between the boarders and parents/guardians and academic staff.
To apply, please fully complete an employment application form and return, along with your CV, to head@tettcoll.co.uk
