Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom Kent College, Pembury Full time

Assistant Housemistress

Hawkwell and Hargreaves

ASAP
Kent College Pembury excels in adding value to its pupils both academically and pastorally.

We are seeking an Assistant Housemistress for our junior boarding house with full, weekly and flexi boarding places for girls in years 4-9.

Some experience within a school boarding environment is preferred as is a genuine interest in the welfare and development of students.

There will be some opportunity to be involved in wider school activities but this is not expected to be a teaching position.

Beautiful self-contained two-bedroom accommodation within the boarding house is provided.

Boarding at Kent College is a central part of the school's life and ethos.

We are very fortunate to have such a close-knit boarding community at the heart of our school and believe that the family atmosphere present in the boarding houses has an extremely positive effect on all of the girls and staff there.

There are two boarding houses at Kent College organised to meet the needs of different age groups. Each house provides modern facilities with spacious bedrooms, cosy common rooms with TVs, and bathrooms with private shower units.

The senior boarding house 'James and Osborn' is home to all boarders in Year 10 and above, run by a Housemistress, Assistant Housemistresses, and Boarding Assistant.


The junior boarding house 'Hawkwell and Hargreaves' is home to all boarders in Year 9 and below, run by a Housemistress, Assistant Housemistress and Resident Graduate.

Our younger boarders flourish in the cosy atmosphere where they receive the individual care and attention they need. Every effort is made to make the pupils feel at home.

Year 9 boarders enjoy having their own facilities in the pre-teen ages.

The colourful common room provides a haven where they can watch their favourite TV programmes together, prepare a tasty snack at their kitchen unit, make use of the computers and, of course, relax.


Founded in Folkestone in 1886, Kent College is an independent day and boarding school for girls with boys in Early Years, with a Senior School (ages and Preparatory School (ages 3-11) sharing the same site, facilities and some specialist staff.

The school is one of a group of twelve schools within the Methodist Independent Schools Trust. The school has a resident Chaplain who leads the Christian worship in the school.

We believe in rewarding our staff and offer a complete range of employee benefits including:

  • Reduced school fees on permanent roles (Rec-U6 pupils)
  • Meals whilst at school during working hours
  • Reimbursement for eye tests
  • Onsite Flu Vaccinations
  • Employee Assistance Programme for Staff Wellbeing
  • Free onsite parking
  • Ongoing professional training and development
