Job overview

House Parent

Are you ready to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young learners? At St Andrew’s Turi we are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic House Parents to create a warm, nurturing home away from home for our primary school boarders.

Imagine fostering a safe and supportive environment where children thrive. One member of that house parent team will be required to teach a KS2 class; helping pupils explore, question and discover the world around them. They will empower young learners to unlock their potential and foster a life-long love of learning.

Join us in shaping future leaders and innovators!

Following four very happy and successful years guiding and supporting our junior girl boarders, the incumbents leave us to head back to family in England. So we are seeking candidates who will take centre stage in building vibrant relationships with pupils and parents and provide exceptional care and support for every child in the Boarding House.

As a boarding house parent, the successful candidate/s will be responsible to the Deputy Head Pastoral.

They will lead a dedicated team with a focus on pastoral welfare and safety and build on an engaging and dynamic boarding programme.

Within the classroom, the successful candidate will be responsible to the Assistant Head Primary and the Deputy Head Academic.

Their main responsibility will be to promote the highest possible standards of teaching and learning.

St Andrew’s Prep School follows the British Curriculum, with the aim to achieve excellent value-added for each child through outstanding care, teaching and a wealth of opportunities for development.

St Andrew’s Turi, will offer the successful applicant/s an exciting and dynamic working environment, personal mentoring and leadership development, happy and enthusiastic pupils who enjoy learning, suitable accommodation onsite and a strong sense of community.

It is essential that the appointee is a committed Christian who supports the School’s Christian character and ethos. We look to recruit committed and resourceful staff, who are looking to not only develop their skills and leadership capacities, but also embrace new experiences and challenges.

Beyond that we want to have staff who love working as part of a team, who are first-class communicators and who are passionate about the subjects and pupils they teach; who are creative and diligent in their planning; who are adaptable, energetic and resilient.

The post would suit someone looking for a new challenge, wanting to develop their area of responsibility as well as leadership skills.

Experience of working in a Prep School, or in a boarding, would be desirable, but not essential. Above all, what matters is a commitment to help us provide a world-class education for our children.

The Prep School is structured along academic lines

The pupils move from EYFS/Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2, and finally into Key Stage 3.

The successful candidate would be expected to contribute to the co-curricular and pastoral life of the School. This includes activities in the evenings and on weekends.

All staff participate in the School’s extensive co-curricular activity programme as well as in the boarding houses. All talents are most welcome and the School has a strong reputation for the standard and participation in its sport and music as well as other co-curricular areas.

Because of our natural environments, applications with Outdoor Education experience and qualifications would also be welcome.
