RMS is a leading independent girls’ day/boarding School with over 950 day and boarding pupils aged 2 to 18, over 310 teaching and support staff and situated on a 300-acre parkland site near Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire. This is a unique school where we combine dynamic teaching and learning with traditional expectations that are rooted in a long and proud history. RMS is committed to educating young women to be creative, enthusiastic and generous contributors to an ever-changing world.

RMS seeks to recruit a caring and outgoing GAP Assistant to join our team of GAP Assistants. We are seeking a GAP Assistant who will add value in a pastoral care environment within our boarding houses and also in academic areas throughout the school. RMS boarders enjoy a lively and varied programme of activities and benefit from outstanding pastoral care. You will contribute to this and be independent, organised, able to work within a team with a flexible, can do approach.

Reporting to the GAP Co-ordinators, you will be required to assist boarding house staff with the organisation of the houses and to assist with the safety, good discipline and pastoral wellbeing of students in the boarding houses.

GAP Assistants live on site, and single accommodation is available. However local applicants may prefer to be non-residential. Many of our staff live on site, we have fifty residential properties spread around the grounds, and RMS has a strong family ethos. For those who want the bright lights, thirty minutes on the tube will get you to Central London, and for those who don’t, a walk around our 300 acres of parkland on a summer evening is hard to beat.
- Interviews are due to take place as soon as possible.
- We welcome female applicants only as this is position is in a girls’ boarding house. This is a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with schedule 9, part 1 of the Equality Act.
