Job overview

RESIDENTIAL ASSISTANT (MALE)

St David's College is looking for residential assistants to live and work in the boys’ boarding houses at St David’s College, Llandudno, North Wales. 

The successful candidate’s main responsibilities will be to supervise and care for pupils during the evenings and weekends as part of a duty team within the boarding community. During the day there will be opportunities to work with the Outdoor Education and PE departments and also an expectation to help from time to time with academic lessons. 


Accommodation and food (term time only) are provided as part of the contractual terms and the salary is commensurate to the post, which would typically suit an individual who is seeking some experience prior to entering the teaching or Outdoor Education professions. 


The post is for one academic year in the first instance but could be extended further depending on the willingness and capabilities of the candidate. 


Due to the nature of these positions, they are exempt from the Equalities Act 2010 with male members of staff being required for the boy’s boarding area and a female required for the girls.  


St David’s College is an independent boarding and day school near to Llandudno. St David’s College was founded on Christian principles and continues to promote them today. Many teachers live on site and the supportive residential community.

The school is located on a beautiful historic campus nestled between Snowdonia and the Irish Sea. 


A copy of the job description is attached to this advert.

Application will be through a completed application form on the TES website or by emailing the School application form to rroberts@stdavidscollege.co.uk 


The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. All appointments are subject to satisfactory references. The closing date for applications is 1 June 2021 and interviews are scheduled for week beginning 14 June 2021.

St David’s College is a 9-19 co-educational day and boarding school situated in North Wales which caters very well for pupils whom have struggled to learn elsewhere.  

We have a huge Outdoor Education department that organises over 20 off-site trips per week (including caving, sailing, mountaineering, kayaking, etc) in addition to around a dozen major expeditions per year such as husky sledging in Sweden, diving in Egypt, sea kayaking in Greenland and Alaska, etc.  These all serve to build confidence, self esteem and leadership skills in our pupils which leads to an increased enthusiasm for school life and improved motivation and cooperation in the classroom.  

Our SEN department is currently staffed by 18 specialist 1:1 teachers and we also offer Occupational Therapy and have Speech and Language specialists on site.  Academic lessons are broken down into bite size chunks, are extremely interactive and have high multi-media content.  Class sizes usually average between 5 and 10 pupils with a maximum of around 14 pupils.  In addition, all SEN pupils are offered at least 2 individual support lessons each week.   Whilst these methods clearly enhance the learning experience of the types of pupils previously described, they also attract a significant number of pupils with no challenging educational needs at all.  

We deliver a standard curriculum of GCSEs and A Levels alongside a number of vocational courses.  Most of our students gain successful GCSE results and stay for the 6th Form, and the majority of our U6 leavers go on to university to study a wide range of topics including prestigious courses such as architecture, law and medicine, at equally prestigious institutions.   

 St David’s College was founded on Christian principles and continues to promote them today. Many teachers live on site and the supportive residential community makes St David’s College a very special place to live, learn and work.  I hope this gives you a brief overview of the school, but you can find more information in the enclosed literature and on the school website.
