Creating a space where our boarders have a "home away from home" which is warm, friendly and safe is of the highest important to the College.

We have strong family culture and values and a community spirit which makes boarding at St Andrew's College a special experience.

Having a strong foundation for our boarders to thrive is imperative to fostering a positive growth mindset, paired alongside a well-structured social calendar.


Reporting to the Director of Boarding, the role of an Assistant House Manager is a vital position where you are working very closely with the boarding students and their families and are the first point of contact.

You will have personal qualities of honesty, integrity, enthusiasm and will be approachable and firm but fair.

This is a part year position where you are required to work term times only. There will be some rostered weekend duties which are distributed between other House and Assistant House Managers.
