We are looking for a dynamic, ambitious and charismatic individual who has prior experience in a boarding environment with a full understanding of the social and personal needs of today’s teenagers. It is essential that the successful candidate is willing to play a full part in the life of the School including our extensive extra-curricular programme. It would be desirable if the candidate was able to teach English as an Additional Language (EAL).
