Job overview
Peponi School is an international, co-educational school in Kenya set about twenty-five kilometres outside Nairobi near Ruiru. It was founded in 1989 and has been very fortunate to enjoy very early success and would now be rated amongst the best schools in the Kenyan education system. Peponi follows the British system through to IGCSE and A level. The School is situated in our own very spacious grounds on the beautiful Sukari ranch. Our pupils have developed a fine reputation for success in the classroom, on the games field and for both Music and Drama. Our unashamedly holistic approach, as a boarding school, is a key feature of our aims. Extra-curricular activities are very much part of school life.
Peponi School is one of the leading British Curriculum Schools in Kenya and prepares its pupils for entry to universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Most of our leavers enter Law, Economics, Science, Medical and Engineering courses.
Our success is now driving a substantial growth and Peponi is currently seeking to appoint Housemasters for September 2019.
For nearly 30 years, the boarding experience has been central to life at Peponi. Led by a Housemaster or Housemistress, and supported by a group of Nurses and Tutors, each of our Houses has its own unique character and provides a home away from home. We are currently looking to recruit Housemasters to lead our junior school Boys' Boarding Houses. The successful candidates will be caring, reliable and enthusiastic and will join a dynamic team of experienced staff looking after boys aged between 13 and 16, who are a mix of both day pupils and boarders.
Peponi School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people in our care. We follow safe recruitment practices and appointments are subject to vetting including reference checks, identity and criminal record checks.
Interested applicants should contact the school with a letter of application, CV and the contact details of two referees (one of whom must be the current Headmaster/Headmistress) by e-mail before ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬Thursday, 14th February 2019
