Head of Boarding

Head of Boarding (Assistant Head) 

Owing to the promotion of the existing post holder to Deputy Head, we are seeking a well-qualified Head of Boarding who has the ambition and vision to further develop and improve the boarding provision at Myddelton College. This is an excellent opportunity for a talented individual to join the Senior Leadership Team of a new and growing independent school in North Wales. The successful applicant will have the vital responsibility for shaping the boarding provision and ethos at the College

This is a unique opportunity to join the Senior Leadership Team of a school in its infancy and to help shape its ethos, ambitions and values. The successful candidate will fulfil a key role and will work closely with the Headteacher in building the strategic vision of the school.

Myddelton College is an independent school for 9-18 year olds, located on an impressive 37 acre campus in Denbigh, North Wales. We are easily accessible to North & Mid Wales, Chester and the North West of England and draw our students from all over the world. 

We opened our doors to 85 students in September 2016 and almost doubled in size in September 2017, with further plans to expand rapidly over the next 3 years. We currently have 60 boarding students and have over 14 nationalities represented in our community this number is expected to almost double by September 2018. We have an existing team of committed residential staff who care passionately about the children in their care.

We are a forward thinking and highly ambitious school looking to revolutionise the current system of education. We are an accredited Microsoft Associate Showcase School and we deliver all of our lessons using the Office 365. Having designed a truly 21st Century curriculum, we are looking for an outstanding leader to join our team of highly committed teachers and to take the lead in developing our pedagogy and curriculum.

The post is suitable for either an experienced Head of Boarding or a highly competent and experienced House Parent looking to take the next step in their career. The successful candidate will initially not be expected to teach so that they are given the time and support to make their vision for boarding a reality. We will then work with the successful candidate to ensure that they have the right balance of teaching and boarding commitments and of course free time away from duties. 

All teachers at Myddelton contribute to the boarding life at the college and currently carry out one evening boarding duty (non-residential) per fortnight and one weekend duty per term.  

At Myddelton College, we are passionate about the professional development of our staff and pride ourselves in delivering high quality CPD on a regular basis.
