Job overview
Aldro is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, compassionate and highly motivated Housemaster/ Houseparent (HsM) to lead our well-established boys' boarding house from September 2024.
The school is looking for an individual (or perhaps a couple) who will enjoy the prospect of further developing a caring, supportive environment for our boys while working effectively alongside our Girls' Housemistress and Head of Boarding.
The position may well be combined with a teaching role (Housemaster) depending on the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate, but we are open to receiving applications from those with a non-teaching background (Houseparent). Ultimately, the successful applicant will want to play a full part in the life of a busy and thriving prep school.
The provision of boarding at Aldro is central to the school’s identity and, as such, the role of HsM is considered of strategic importance. The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the boys’ boarding house, for the health, safety and welfare of the boy boarders and, with the Housemistress and Head of Boarding, for leading and managing the boarding team. They will also play an important part in promoting boarding in line with the school’s aims and objectives.
This is a residential role and accommodation will be provided onsite to enable the proper performance of the HsM duties. Currently a two-bedroom flat is envisaged for this role
