At Cheltenham Ladies’ College, we aim to provide a strong support network for every one of our pupils. Around 720 girls board with us in one of our 12 Sixth Form and Junior Boarding Houses and your role will be at the heart of this pastoral care as you lead one of our dedicated professional teams looking after approximately 70 girls in a junior house. As Houseparent you will make a significant contribution to the welfare and development of the girls in your care; creating an environment where each girl is encouraged to develop individual talents and interests and achieve her potential.
With previous substantial experience in pastoral care, you will be an adept communicator with a proven ability to interact and work with others in a sensitive, yet effective way.

You will be an experienced and effective decision-maker with highly developed organisational, planning and influencing skills. As a key pastoral leader, you will be passionate about and dedicated to the interests and welfare of young people. Teaching experience is desirable but not essential.
In return, we can offer you a truly inspiring working environment, right in the heart of Regency Cheltenham, described as the cultural centre of the Cotswolds, together with an excellent benefits package.

"Girls enrolling in College are highly likely to see in the turn of the next century, living lives of unprecedented longevity. Their world will be full of promise, choice and possibility on a scale that has not been true for any generation of women that has preceded them.
“Leading this energetic, talented and caring community of staff and pupils is an extraordinary privilege. We have a unique and inspiring pioneering heritage which we cherish, and we have a very exciting future. We would love you to be a part of it.”
Eve Jardine-Young, Principal
College first opened its doors in February 1854 with the purpose of providing girls with a thorough academic education. We have remained committed to that pioneering goal, while adapting to a complex and changing world. Today we are one of the largest school communities of boarding and day girls in Europe, allowing us to provide a rich holistic curriculum. Approximately 850 pupils from 40 countries across the world benefit from the knowledge and expertise gained over the last 160 years of putting girls first.
Our motivated and able pupils genuinely want to learn, and consistently achieve results at the very highest level in GCSE, A Level, Pre-U and IB examinations. For the teachers who can nurture such achievement, we offer excellent resources, professional support and personal development. In addition, we have a dedicated team that manages evening and weekend boarding duties, so you can focus on what you do best: inspiring your classes.
You can also look forward to a wonderful working environment right at the heart of Cheltenham. Described as the cultural centre of the Cotswolds, this elegant and thriving town offers excellent transport links to the South West or Midlands, with the M5 in easy reach. London can be reached in two hours, and Cheltenham’s mainline rail station provides rapid and frequent connections with the rest of the UK.
We believe that there are few better places to live and work – and no better setting within which ambitious teachers can make a positive impact on their pupils’ lives.
