Job Summary
Job Description
The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting and deputising for the House Parent of AJH (Years 12 and 13) at Upper School, ensuring that students have a secure and supportive ‘home from home’ during term time. Suitable training and ongoing support will be provided.
Contract Terms:
Hours: Full-time with two evenings per week and three weekends per term (plus exeats) off duty (although staff may be called upon in an emergency). For clarity the working week runs from Sunday evening until Friday and the weekend constitutes Saturday. This situation reflects current working rotas, however flexibility is required on occasion as these may have to be adapted to meet operational requirements. Every effort will be made to provide a 24 hour period of non-contact time per week. Where this may not be possible for timetabling reasons, then suitable arrangements for substantial periods of non-contact time will be made.
There is a requirement to provide two weeks of cover during the Spring and/or Summer Intensive Courses.
House staff must be resident during term time (even on nights off), in case of emergency, but may ask permission from the APPW for occasional absences for special occasions. No holiday may be taken during term time, the last week of the summer break or when there is planned Inset.
