The King's School is an 11-18 comprehensive school, which takes great pride in the promotion of excellence in teaching and learning, pastoral care, and extra-curricular activities. Our core purpose of 'Achievement for All' encourages every student to develop their skills, interests, and talents, not just through academic achievement but also through a rich variety of enrichment opportunities including house competitions, extra-curricular clubs, trips and visits.
For September 2025, we are seeking to appoint an Assistant Head of House to join our Student Support Team. The successful candidate will work with a range of other staff, but particularly with other Assistant Heads of House and the Heads of House. This role is student-facing and will need someone who is prepared to be reactive and proactive. On a day-to-day basis, Assistant Heads of House are often the first point of contact for a range of issues from friendship fall-outs to feeling unwell, and from losing an item of equipment to feeling sad. However, the role will also be focused on proactively supporting students to achieve high levels of attendance, behaviour and engagement with school.
You will need to be prepared to support a wide range of students, to be flexible and enjoy working with young people and their families. Very importantly, you will need to be able to work effectively with other staff and retain a sense of humour.
When applying for the role, it is important that you refer to the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and the DBS Disclosure Policy, which can be found on our website (About Us – Policy Documents). We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of students, so all staff are enhanced DBS checked.
Please contact Mrs. Pocock at recruitment@thekings.devon.sch.uk for further details or see our website The King's School Devon and apply online.
Please apply by 9am Monday 23rd June 2025.
Interview Date: w/c 30th June 2025 (anticipated)
