About Boarding
Working in a boarding school, either as a teacher or in a non-teaching role, offers a unique and rewarding experience with many benefits. A close-knit community is fostered with staff developing close bonds and a strong sense of camaraderie.
The immersive nature of a boarding school allows the whole staff body to feel part of something bigger due to the profound impact on students’ holistic development. Regardless of their specific role, staff regularly speak of their pride in working within a community that makes a lasting difference to young people’s lives.
A role in a boarding school promotes the development of skills that are easily transferred to other walks of life. You will have the opportunity to not only develop pastoral skills with young people, but also a whole range of competencies linked to leadership and management. Emotional intelligence, problem solving, budget management, regulatory compliance and team skills are all enhanced in a boarding environment and are vital in most other sectors and job roles.
