Detail

The housemistress can be a teaching or non-teaching role. If a teacher, the housemistress will teach up to 0.5 of a full timetable; we will consider candidates with any subject specialism. If not in a teaching role, the housemistress may be asked to support the school with some administration tasks for an equivalent amount of time.

The housemistress will have an overview of the girls' wellbeing and will liaise with colleagues across the school concerning their academic and personal progress. In this respect the housemistress is crucial in ensuring a link between the academic and pastoral life of the school. Houseparents' work within the pastoral team and liaise with academic, medical and administrative departments.
