ABOUT GUILDHOUSE SCHOOL
Guildhouse School, located in the heart of Bloomsbury in central London, is a boarding school for ages 15+ that provides an immersive international environment for ideas and creativity, where students are empowered to make a positive impact on our world. The school offers an outstanding international pre-university educational experience, with small class sizes, to students from all over the world. Housed in three beautiful grade two listed buildings, the school is the first high school in Europe to have a Bloomberg Business Lab. Students at Guildhouse School are studying for A levels and University Foundation Programmes and preparing for admission to universities across the UK and abroad. We pride ourselves on our approach to high quality and personalised teaching and learning experiences, with small class sizes and an informal atmosphere ensuring that students are treated as individuals and build great relationships with staff. Our ethos and culture for students is ‘Work Hard, Aim High & Be Kind’.


OVERVIEW OF THE JOB
Guildhouse School seeks Bank House Parents (HPs) 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.

HPs work within the team of about 10 boarding staff assisting with the personal, moral, spiritual and intellectual development of each student in Premier 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 BHP at Guildhouse School is unlike posts in other schools. Our students are older, and that brings both managerial challenges and professional opportunities. They are much less likely to need time from the BHPs during the day. Students are much more likely to need time before class, in the late evenings and at weekends, which means BHPs need to be flexible.


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 Guildhouse School.

Responsibilities include the following:
1. Aiding the well-being, safety, discipline and pastoral care of students
2. Helping to create a calm, quiet and tidy living and working environment
3. Helping supervise the day-to-day routines of normal boarding school life, such as wake-up duties, laundry, and bedtimes
4. Maintaining confidentiality and other professional standards of the education sector, such as the implications of the National Minimum Standards for Boarding
5. Completing records of progress, welfare, problems, achievements, conduct and other reports
6. Responding to circumstances of individual boarders, including those from different cultural backgrounds or with specific health needs
7. Knowing and treating each student as an individual and encouraging self-discipline and a sense of responsibility
8. Supporting Induction Programmes to ensure that the settling in process is a happy one and any problems are resolved as soon as possible
9. Supporting, helping run, and enthusing students to participate in the Guildhouse School extra-curricular programme
10. Helping with any emergency that may arise, such as fire alarms, and to accompany students to medical appointments
11. Attending House meetings, staff and Guildhouse School functions as required
12. Any other reasonable request of the Headteacher.

PERSON SPECIFICATION
1. Suitably qualified to work with young people
2. A good understanding of the academic processes involved with Further and Higher Education
3. A fluent speaker of English with strong written skills
4. Energy and enthusiasm
5. Flexibility to work as part of a team
6. A calm and pragmatic approach to life
7. Confidence and resilience when dealing with teenagers
8. Enthusiasm to participate in the wider life of Guildhouse School
