ABOUT GUILDHOUSE SCHOOL
Guildhouse School is a co-educational independent day and boarding school serving international students aged 15+. The school specialises in preparing students for pre-university exams, including I/GCSEs, A Levels and the University Foundation Programme (UFP).

There are approximately two hundred and fifty students on roll, class size average is nine, and students take part in an extensive range of extra-curricular activities including leadership awards and national/international competitions.

Approximately half the School's students live in our boarding accommodation.

The school is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA) and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and was most recently (May 2019) rated "Good".

It is in Bloomsbury Square at the heart of London and counts among its neighbours some of the world's greatest centres of education, art, fashion, and finance.


OVERVIEW OF THE JOB
The school seeks Resident House Parents (RHPs) to work in its principal boarding facility ("Premier House") in central London. Premier House has about 120 international students, typically aged 15-19, accommodated in a large building near Bloomsbury Square. The great majority have English as an additional language; some speak English fluently, others less so.


RHPs work within the team of about 15 boarding staff assisting with the personal, moral, spiritual, and intellectual development of each student in the House.

They must model the high personal and academic standards of responsible adults that students respect, and have the personality to contribute to a secure, stable, and caring environment.

The post of RHP at Guildhouse School is unlike residential posts in other schools. Our students are older, and that brings both managerial challenges and professional opportunities.

They are much less likely to need pastoral support from the RHPs during the day, and this gives opportunities for RHPs also to be involved in the academic life of the school day.

Students are much more likely to need pastoral support before class, in the late evenings and at weekends.

REPORTS TO
The RHPs report to the Assistant Head (Boarding & Independent Accommodation).

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE JOB

The duties specified are not intended to represent an exhaustive list and will vary where necessary to suit the skill set of the post holder and the needs of the school.

The role of an RHP is to work in the Boarding Team with the Assistant Head (Boarding & Independent Accommodation).


Responsibilities include the following:

  • Aiding the well-being, safety, discipline, and pastoral care of students.
  • Helping to create a calm, quiet and tidy living and working environment.
  • Helping supervise the day-to-day routines of normal boarding school life, such as wake-up duties, laundry, and bedtimes.
  • Assisting in the academic life of the School during the School Day and being involved in activities.
  • Maintaining confidentiality and other professional standards of the education sector, such as the implications of the National Minimum Standards for Boarding.
  • Completing records of progress, welfare, problems, achievements, conduct and other reports.
  • Responding to circumstances of individual boarders, including those from different cultural backgrounds or with specific health needs.
  • Knowing and treating each student as an individual and encouraging self-discipline and a sense of responsibility.
  • Supporting Induction Programmes to ensure that the settling in process is a happy one, equipping students with essential initial information and resolving any problems as soon as possible.
  • Supporting, helping run, and enthusing students to participate in the Guildhouse School extra-curricular programme.
  • Helping with any emergency that may arise, such as fire alarms, and to accompany students to occasional medical appointments.
  • Attending House meetings, staff and School functions as required.
  • Any other reasonable request of the Head.
