House Parent

We are seeking to appoint a caring, dynamic and inspirational House Parent to lead this successful and popular senior girls’ boarding house (ages 13-18). The House Parent will oversee the personal development of each pupil in the boarding house and take responsibility for their pastoral, academic and co-curricular life.

The House Parent will have a proven track record of providing first rate pastoral care and be a natural leader with an excellent understanding of what it takes to deliver a boarding experience in which pupils thrive. Experience of boarding is essential, as is the ability to foster a nurturing, supportive environment.

The House Parent will hold a relevant degree and be an inspirational teacher. Applications from all subjects relevant to our curriculum will be considered. Full support and mentoring will be given to those new to the House Parent role.

Bryanston is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
