Graduate Resident Assistant

2 weeks ago

Taunton, United Kingdom Taunton School Full time

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, energetic and enthusiastic graduate to join Taunton School International and our diverse boarding community.

This one-year residential post provides invaluable pastoral and academic support to our boarders, in all areas of their school life as well as a fantastic experience which provides a platform for various career progression paths.

If you are keen in pursuing a career in teaching and can establish good relationships with young people, then we would like to hear from you.

In return, we can offer a memorable time working with lively and interesting students within a flourishing co-educational environment. In addition, you will be provided with a competitive salary, full-board accommodation in a boarding house (or school accommodation), access to a gym and swimming pool on site, a range of other staff benefits, and opportunities for continuing professional development and training.

The successful candidate will have a genuine passion for working with young people and enjoy being part of a busy and changing environment. You will be a team player with a positive “can do approach”, with outstanding organisational skills and the ability to work to tight deadlines. In addition, you will always act with tact and discretion.

A genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of young people is essential, whilst experience of working in a school setting or in a coaching role is not essential but desirable. We aspire to deliver exceptional every day, whilst creating a welcoming and supportive environment where individuals can thrive, find their exceptional, and be celebrated. Our 3 cornerstone values are Humility, Engagement and Kindness. If this sounds like a cultural fit for you, and you meet the job requirements, we would love to hear from you.
