- Uphold house rules and boarding standards with a balance of consistency and empathy, acting as both a role model and a source of support.
- Work closely with the Head of Boarding and wider pastoral team to address student concerns, manage conflicts, and escalate welfare issues appropriately.
- Maintain accurate wellbeing records and communicate clearly with parents/guardians, teachers,



and school leadership.
- Support students through the specific challenges of boarding life, including homesickness, cultural adjustment, and time away from family.

Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Social Work, or a related field.
- Experience working with young people in a boarding, residential, or pastoral care setting; international school experience is an advantage.
- Willingness to live on or near campus and work flexibly, including evenings, weekends, and school holidays as required.
