- Devon, Exeter
- Full Time
- £30,413 + up to £3,200 on-call allowance
Do you like working with teenagers (aged 16 to 19)? Can you foster warm and supportive relationships? Are you a great team leader? Do you want to make a difference? We are looking for a proactive, committed and organised leader to develop our boarding provision at a time of growth and change. We’re looking for someone who is… Approachable and supportive Calm and consistent Proactive and wise Open, honest and reflective Ready for a leadership position What you’ll be doing… Creating a home-from-home for boarding students Guiding students to be able to cook, clean and take care of themselves Staying overnight to be on call in an emergency Developing boarding policies and practices Managing a boarding building Being a listening ear and provider of support and guidance Communicating regularly with main school staff and parents In return you’ll get… generous holidays an excellent pension scheme access to counselling and wellbeing support discounted shopping regular training mentoring supportive, collaborative and dynamic colleagues Approximately a third of our students board at EMS, coming from right across the South West of England. What unites them is a love of maths and its applications, but they are a diverse mix and at 16, the vast majority are staying away from home for the first time. You will work with a team of boarding tutors to provide a safe, supportive and welcoming home for our students. Throughout their time at the school, you will support boarding students to develop the living skills they need to thrive at university and beyond. Boarding is a vital part of our provision – it enables us to provide a specialist education for those who would otherwise struggle to access it. More can be read about our boarding on our website: Exeter Maths School | Weekly Boarding . You don’t need to be a keen mathematician to take on this role (we’ve got plenty of teachers who have that covered), we need you to provide the pastoral support and guidance our young people need during this time of transition from child to adult. This is an exciting time for our boarding provision: the demand for places has increased and we are aiming to secure additional boarding places through the purchase of a second building which may be further supplemented by Homestay provision. Within a year we also expect to be moving from our current rented accommodation into a school-owned, newly renovated building. These changes mean more work and greater responsibility for the boarding team and so we are creating this role to increase our leadership capacity. The post holder will work closely with our Head of Boarding to maintain standards during this time of transition and ultimately to further improve our already Outstanding provision. If you want to contribute significantly to a reflective, energetic and determined pastoral team, this could be just the right post for you.
