Housemaster/Housemistress
Housemaster/Housemistress
Permanent; Full-Time
Closing Date: Tuesday 18 April 2023 at 12 noon
Haileybury Housemasters and Housemistresses (HMs) are an exceptional, committed and supportive team who work together to create an environment in which pupils love boarding. We have recently invested in a dedicated Wellbeing Centre for our pupils and staff.
The House is a modern, spacious home for around 70 girls ages 13-18 with a caring, family atmosphere nurtured by a close-knit team of tutors and Matron who are committed to the girls in their care. A purpose-built boarding house on the School’s 500 acre estate, the private side accommodation is a substantial four-bedroom family home.
A willingness to contribute to the extensive and enriching co-curricular life of a 24/7 boarding school will be expected. HMs teach 16 out of a standard 25 lessons each week.
You will be the first port of call for parents and develop fruitful, long-term relationships with them – and, of course, their children. As the leader of your House team, you will work closely with the whole staff body in the best interests of those in the House.
Please see the attached candidate brief for more information.
