Boarding is central to the ethos of the College and the strong Bishopstrow College community enriches our students and helps them build strong friendships and connections. The safety and well-being of our students are of paramount importance and the Head of Boarding (who also performs the role of Deputy DSL) will lead by example, re-enforcing our ‘Five Virtues’, which underpin all aspects of life at Bishopstrow: from staff to students, every single one of us strives to be: Kind, Polite, Organised, Hard-Working and a Team Player.

We would also like a colleague who will be kind to the community, who loves the company of people and is great fun to be around. Our leadership team meetings must buzz with positivity!

The successful candidate will be a welcoming leader with the ability to quickly win the respect of staff, students, parents, agents and guardians; an educationalist with a commitment to nurturing and supporting young people and an excellent communicator.

The Head of Boarding reports directly to the Principal and is responsible for a team of resident Boarding Tutors, the Head of Sport and other members of the boarding team.

The Head of Boarding will:

• Have overall responsibility for boarding, welfare and care of boarders (personal, emotional and social well-being).
• Efficiently manage the staffing, organisation and resources of boarding.
• Provide a stimulating, orderly, family atmosphere, where the students feel safe, happy and enabled to learn.

The successful candidate will lead and be responsible for the safeguarding of our students and be a key member of the Senior Management Team, contributing more broadly to the College’s strategy.
