All the boarding accommodation is on the Brillantmont campus, on the upper floors of five buildings. The buildings are secure, accessible by door-codes and the boarding rooms are spacious, warm and welcoming. Boys and girls live in separate houses, organised by age and gender. A member of the boarding team lives in the boarding house, looking after the students and helping make their boarding experience happy and successful. Students share a room with a student from another nationality, encouraging intercultural learning and understanding.
We expect our boarding staff to always have the students’ physical, mental and emotional well-being at the heart of all they do. Our caring, supportive boarding environment safeguards the students and allows them to develop and grow with confidence.
Living away from home is not always easy, especially in the teenage years. It’s a time of change and questions. We are here to help our students find the answers to their questions, to feel strong and grounded on their journey to becoming well-balanced, responsible young adults, who can live with others and who are global citizens. Your support will help them secure high standards and identify barriers to learning and development.
This is a residential one-year position which would be suitable for a university graduate who is looking for experience in a school setting.
SPECIFICATIONS:
The successful candidate will:
- Be a dynamic individual, proactive and a great team player
- Be flexible, sensible and approachable
- Be a good communicator, particularly with teenagers
- Be keen on sports, the outdoors and interested in exploring the world around us
- Have experience in working in a similar role
- Have a driving license valid for Switzerland and be confident to drive a minibus of 9 seats (Driving licence category B)
- Hold a European or Swiss passport or a Swiss residence permit.
- Be able to work in English; knowledge of French is an asset
- Be committed to the safeguarding and promotion of the welfare of young people and adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s Safeguarding Policy at all times.
