Full-Time, 1 Academic Year Fixed Term Contract, 40 hours per week, term time only

St Lawrence College is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Gap Tutor / boarding assistant to join our dedicated staff team to make a full pastoral contribution to the extra-curricular life of this busy school. The position presents a unique opportunity to gain experience of working in a school; the role combines pastoral care in both the boarding and day school and provides greater depth of staffing for key school activities and lessons.

The role would be suitable for either school leavers during a gap year, graduates with a related degree or gap-year students during studies. This is a fantastic opportunity for those who are considering a career working with children or looking to gain valuable experience in a school environment prior to university.

The Gap Tutors quickly become an integral part of the School family. Their role is to support the children, assist the duty staff in appropriate ways and, wherever possible, to bring their strengths and interests to the fore, to the benefit of the community as a whole. They are regarded as members of staff and so the usual professional standards are expected of them at all times.
The successful candidate will be energetic, responsible and organised as well as have the ability to work supportively and encouragingly with the pupils in our care. They will be an excellent role model and demonstrate a willingness to take on challenge and contribute to the success of the school.

Ideally, this is a residential role and accommodation is provided free of rent, rates and other charges – this does not, of course, extend to any income tax or personal tax which may be levied from time to time under National legislation.  The insurance of your personal belongings and chattels in the property will be a matter for you to take care of.

The role is a fixed term contract for one academic year, term time only. The successful candidate will work 40 hours per week Monday to Friday (hours range from 7am to 9pm), with weekend duties on a rota basis (one day off in the week and one day off at the weekend).
