House Parent (Residential)
Summer School House Parent x4 (Residential)
Fixed-term: 1 July 2026 to 1 August 2026 inclusive
Benefits: Accommodation and meals
Closing date: Midday on Monday 12 January 2026
Haileybury International Summer School is an established, successful English language school which will offer Spring and Summer courses in 2026. The programme has an academic focus and it is aimed at international students aged 11-16 with varying levels of English. The different courses include an impressive range of activities, study tours and exciting excursions.
We are looking for four House Parents who will help create a happy and homely living environment in the boarding house and ensure that pupils feel relaxed and supported. You will be responsible for ensuring that students know how their days will be scheduled, what to expect, what is expected of them and that they follow rules.
You will be responsible for administering any medication that pupils bring and you will liaise with the Pupil Services Manager and School Nurse about other welfare and medical matters. You will also manage the Assistant House Parent (who will deputise for you in your absence) and Pupil Support Assistants in your house.
The nature of a 24 hour a day, 7 days per week summer school requires staff to work flexibly. The work is intense, days are long and whether on or off duty, staff are expected to put the needs of the students and the reputation of the school first. However, it is extremely rewarding and enables staff to develop their knowledge and skills in a vibrant, energetic workplace.
Please see the candidate brief for further information.
