Cheltenham College seeks to appoint a Pastoral Assistant "Day Matron" on a part-time, term-time only basis (33 weeks) for a boys' day house.
College’s houses offer outstanding pastoral care to day pupils and boarders alike, on a full and flexible basis, 7 days a week. Central to the successful running of the Houses, the Day Matron plays a vital part in a highly rewarding position, requiring dedication and commitment whilst providing first-class pastoral support to pupils. It is a key role that helps to ensure a warm, family environment is created for the pupils in our care.
Every House is a small, close-knit community and has a distinctive character all of its own. Houses have an equal amount of year groups within it, with pupils of all ages socialising, mentoring and supporting each other throughout College life. This creates an environment that alleviates homesickness and encourages strong friendships while also fostering a deep sense of House honour and loyalty.
In conjunction with the Houseparent and other House staff, the Day Matron is responsible for the general welfare of the pupils within the House including providing pastoral, medical and domestic support.
Applicants should be organised, with a flexible and willing attitude, excellent interpersonal skills and an aptitude for dealing with young people in a close environment.
