Moreton Hall is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic House Parent with strong pastoral experience to join our highly successful, British Council Accredited International Study Centre for boarders aged 13 – 17. 

This is a residential post and the successful candidate will play a full part in the life of a busy boarding school. 

Moreton Hall’s Mitchell House was established in 2010 and is a stand-alone facility which prepares both boys and girls for entry into GCSE and A level courses at prestigious boarding schools throughout the UK. The International Study Centre takes up to 35 students each term, including summer holidays. 

Moreton Hall is situated in an area of considerable beauty with excellent road and rail links both to North and South. It is situated midway between Shrewsbury and Chester.

Pastoral Care is delivered to an excellent standard at Moreton Hall and it is essential that candidates have an enthusiasm for boarding life, as boarding is central to life at Moreton Hall.
