Christchurch, New Zealand St Andrew's College Full time

**Who are we?**

St Andrew’s College is recognised for our comprehensive curriculum and commitment to innovative practice in a rapidly changing environment. We balance our teaching and learning between a traditional and creative approach and seek staff who embrace change and new ideas.

St Andrew’s Is the only independent co-educational secondary school in the South Island offering boarding to both boys and girls from Year 9 to Year 13. We uphold the best traditions of more than 100 years as a boarding school, while reflecting modern principles of residential care.

**About the role**

We now require an Assistant House Manager to join our team in our Senior Boys House Rutherford (Years 11- 13).

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. We have a high level of pastoral care within the College and the boarding facilities are no exception to this.

Day to day you will be hands on from before wake up through to the end of the day and will be required to be on call for overnight situations that may arise. You will deal with all administration functions and management of the cleaning and maintenance of the Boarding house. You will oversee laundry services and will also attend meetings with other Assistant House and House Managers and will attend boarding chapel services and other whole boarding events.

**What you’ll bring to the role**

We are looking for someone who has an ability to build a quick rapport with students and their families and colleagues and has exceptional communication skills. You’ll be able to work cohesively in a team and will be motivated when working alone. You’ll have a high level of organisational skills and attention to detail. You must have pastoral care experience and will have experience in dealing with teenagers and ideally boarding experience.

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.

**About us**

St Andrew’s College offers a supportive and encouraging workplace and culture. We provide an exceptional environment where outstanding students and staff inspire each other every day to make this a special place. We offer our employees a comprehensive benefits package including discount on tuition fees, health insurance, income protection and life insurance, 4% Kiwisaver, use of our onsite fitness centre as well as other staff benefits.

**How to apply**

and attach your C.V and covering letter. Please detail in your covering letter the following;
- What do you see are the key elements of your duty of care for teenagers?
- How do you communicate effectively with teenagers and gain their trust to foster positive and cohesive relationships?
