Summary
The Post
The Royal School is looking for a dynamic, innovative and empathetic assistant houseparent to join our boarding team and add to our award-winning boarding experience. The role of an assistant houseparent, while challenging, is often the most fulfilling and rewarding role in any school and here at the Royal this is no different. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to and build on our boarding experience that has helped students achieve academic and extra-curricular success (including a gold medal and an MBE).
Boarding at The Royal School, Wolverhampton
Boarders at the Royal are a key part of the school’s character, ethos and history. The school has two boarding houses, Dartmouth and Lichfield, serving boys and girls from year 7 to year 13. We have capacity for 82 boarders at present, but following expansion as part of our £46 million rebuild and refurbishment programme, this will increase to 100 students across the two houses.
Our boarders join us from across the globe and from all walks of life. We house Elite Swimmers, International Students (with British citizenship or leave to remain), and UK residents alongside a small number of Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASCs) in keeping with our origins and foundation as an orphanage.
