Sandroyd is a leading independent, co-educational prep school for day and boarding pupils aged from 2-13 years. Sandroyd is renowned for its academic excellence, feeding the top public schools nationally. We fully value and support our healthy number of day pupils, but the vast majority of Sandroyd pupils board at the school, especially in years 6 - 8.
We are looking for a motivated Houseparent or a couple to live in and look after our mixed junior boarding house. Ideally, one of the couple would be a fully qualified teacher and would offer an academic subject and/or be willing to coach sport.

Working alongside other House staff, you will be responsible for the smooth running of the House and the pastoral welfare of approx. 50 year 3–6 girls and boys. You will ideally have previous experience of a similar role, possess excellent communication and organisational skills and have the ability to remain calm under pressure.
The successful candidate will be expected to play a full part in the life of our busy boarding school which is located in 68 acres of parkland on the Wiltshire/Dorset boarder in between Salisbury and Blandford.
