· - Two (2) Senior Boarding and Pastoral Supervisor positions where you will live on site, with accommodation provided by the School.

About you

You will bring experience working with young people in a boarding, residential, education, youth or comparable care environment, together with the confidence to lead others in a busy and dynamic environment.
