The Resident Tutor plays a vital role in creating a safe, welcoming and supportive home for our boarders. Working as part of the Boarding team, the post holder will build positive relationships with pupils, provide
outstanding pastoral care, and maintain a visible presence within the boarding house throughout term time. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about young people’s wellbeing and is looking to develop their career in pastoral leadership.

As Resident Tutor, you will play a key role in creating a welcoming, supportive and positive boarding environment for our pupils. You will be a visible and engaged presence within the boarding house, building strong relationships with pupils and taking an active interest in their wellbeing, development and day-to-day lives.

Working as part of the Boarding team, you will support the welfare of boarders, providing guidance, encouragement and appropriate pastoral support. You will work closely with the Director of Boarding and wider boarding team, responding sensitively to individual needs and concerns
and helping to foster a strong sense of community and belonging within the house.

The role also includes supporting pupils with their academic progress, contributing to the wider life of the boarding community and helping to create a positive home-from-home environment. You will be expected to participate in evening and weekend duties, attend boarding meetings and maintain a positive presence within the house throughout term time.

Information about the school

St Edmund's School is a co-educational day and boarding school with c. 570 pupils from the ages of 3 to 18. The school is officially designated “a school of religious character”.

The Junior and Senior Schools are on the same site and are closely integrated, using the same Chapel, music and art facilities, dining hall, science laboratories and sports hall. The school prides itself on its friendly, family environment where every pupil and staff member is known and valued.

Although the majority of children are day pupils, one quarter of the school’s pupils are boarders, from a wide range of backgrounds. The school operates a five-day teaching week, but also runs a Saturday morning activities programme which is optional for Senior School day pupils. All boarders participate in both Saturday and Sunday activities programmes.

The school adjoins the University of Kent and is able to make use of many of the University's facilities: the Templeman Library, the Gulbenkian theatre and the public lectures amongst others. London’s West End is within easy reach.
