The main purpose of the Boarding house tutor role is to support both boys and other boarding staff within the boarding house and help run the activities program. The support provided can come in many different forms from guiding boys with academic work and any concerns they may have, to supporting them with their organisation and social development and awareness as any parent would. A personable approach is key, with the ability to spend time with boys in a social environment getting to know them and being comfortable in their company being at the top of the list.

Helping you achieve a good work life balance is important to us. Lots of our colleagues work flexibly including part time hours and/or job shares and we are happy to discuss these opportunities with you.

We truly believe that diversity of thought, culture, background and perspective secure the best outcomes for our students. We strive to build teams that represent our local communities and welcome applications from individuals who identify as members of an under-represented group and in particular individuals who identify as BAME, disabled or LGBT. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.
