Job overview
OBH is looking to appoint an energetic couple to help lead our thriving boarding houses. With over 80 children involved, boarding is an integral part of this wonderful country prep school. We are looking for House Parents who are totally committed to the ethos and lifestyle of prep school boarding. It is expected that both House Parents would play a significant role in the school and house, with one full and one part time role, although this is negotiable depending on the candidates. It would not be necessary for both to be teaching roles, but they could be. Family accommodation linked to the boarding house is provided. A strong boarding and pastoral care team is in place and the extensive facilities and grounds make for a wonderful place for children to grow and learn.
OBH is a thriving day and boarding school for 3 – 13 year olds, situated in a stunning 80 acre parkland setting in Suffolk. We offer an extraordinary education that challenges children greatly, but also puts a smile on their faces and gives them lots to talk about when they get home. If you have the necessary drive, commitment, experience and sense of fun, then we would love you to join our team.
For an informal discussion about the roles please call the Headmaster, Tom O’Sullivan, on 01449 740 252. Further details and an application form can be downloaded from the school’s website www.obh.co.uk.
Closing date for applications: Friday 17th April
We are committed to safeguarding children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All Successful applicants are required to complete Disclosure Application forms, which means providing criminal conviction information.
