Description

Buckswood School is an Independent schools located in the beautiful East Sussex countryside, close to the historic town of Hastings. Our school community is made up of students from the UK and around the world who join us with a broad range of academic, social and cultural backgrounds.

As our boarding roles are all non-teaching, we focus on the development of pastoral practises and provide out staff with a range of professional development opportunities. Boarding at Buckswood is a team approach, where all residential staff are dedicated to the pastoral care of our students.

We are seeking an individual who is motivated, hardworking, and sociable. You will work as part of a dynamic team to help develop a boarding residence that both students and staff are proud to be a part of.

House Staff are responsible for the welfare and care of boarders within the school community; encompassing personal, emotional & social wellbeing. House Staff are to provide a stimulating, orderly, family atmosphere where the students feel safe, happy & enabled to learn best. House Staff will deliver a wide range of stimulating activities for boarders in order for them to achieve their potential within Buckswood.
