- Job Overview

The post of an **Overnight Welfare & Liaison Supervisor (OWLS)** is residential and includes all meals and accommodation.

A well-organised, supervised and implemented evening activity programme is crucial to the success of a summer school, and proactive, enthusiastic, motivated OWLSs are integral to the high standards of service St Andrew’s College Language schools provide to their clients. If appointed, you will be expected to plan, organise and promote evening activities, as well as encourage and motivate students to participate so that they get the full benefit from their stay.

As an OWLS you will carry out tasks regarding the welfare, administration, safety and security of students in residential accommodation after the evening activities until 3 am.

An outlined evening activity programme is prepared and coordinated by the Activity and Excursion Manager(s). OWLSs are responsible for promoting, organising, and running evening activities and events, both on and off campus, under the guidance of the Activity and Excursion Manager(s). They may also need to supervise other staff when leading activities, encouraging them to take a full and active part.

OWLS work a six-day week and receive one full day off per week. Duties include, but are not exclusive to, the following: planning and leading evening activities and excursions, welfare and supervision duties, welcoming and transfer duties when they happen during the evenings. The time allocated to each of these tasks will be at the discretion of the management team at the centre. You must be flexible and willing to undertake any task as directed.

All staff undergo a paid induction (£12.30/hour) and may be asked to start work after this induction. This payment will be made on completion of agreed contract and on return of all company resources and property. Both the induction and the work afterwards are paid. Attendance at the induction is an essential part of the employment.
