Resident Graduate Assistants
Are you an enthusiastic and caring individual, seeking an exciting challenge? We are looking for individuals to take on this role from September 2025 until early July 2026 but we would consider applications from candidates who are looking to work for one or two terms, rather than the full academic year.

In the Junior Boarding House, the children live within a family setting, with the Houseparents and their family living downstairs. The children enjoy a home-from-home set up and the Graduates will play a key role in their pastoral care, alongside the Houseparents and non-resident house tutors. In the Senior Boarding House the Graduates will work as part of a team looking after the children and ensuring their time at the school is enjoyable, safe, caring and stimulating. During the school day you will be involved in supporting children in lessons, supporting the Games provision and have the chance to become involved in many different areas of the curriculum.
Single accommodation will be provided within the Senior Boarding House, home to around 130 children and a further 10 members of the residential staff. Meals will be taken free of charge during term time. Ideally the successful candidate will have their own transport and enjoy playing of have experience of coaching sport.
