For September 2025, we are seeking to appoint an Assistant Head of House to join our Student Support Team. The successful candidate will work with a range of other staff, but particularly with other Assistant Heads of House and the Heads of House. This role is student-facing and will need someone who is prepared to be reactive and proactive. On a day-to-day basis, Assistant Heads of House are often the first point of contact for a range of issues from friendship fall-outs to feeling unwell, and from losing an item of equipment to feeling sad. However, the role will also be focused on proactively supporting students to achieve high levels of attendance, behaviour and engagement with school.
You will need to be prepared to support a wide range of students, to be flexible and enjoy working with young people and their families. Very importantly, you will need to be able to work effectively with other staff and retain a sense of humour.
