Resident Housemistress (Maternity Cover)

Framlingham College is a co-educational boarding and day school which comprises the Prep School, in the beautiful surroundings of Brandeston Hall, and the Senior School which is set in stunning surroundings in the market town of Framlingham. Curiosity and inquiry are at the heart of a vibrant learning culture and at Framlingham College we believe that every child should experience the joy that is to be found in learning. A Framlingham College education aims to nurture essential skills and habits - adaptability, teamwork and good decision-making for example - by weaving them into the curriculum. We are determined to prepare our young people for their adult world.

As such, we are seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Head of House (HM) to join our team on a temporary basis, providing maternity cover for the HM in Pembroke House from 23rd February 2024 to 12th December 2025. Please note that while the start date may be slightly later than anticipated, the end date could be earlier but will not extend beyond 12th December 2025. Flexibility around these dates is essential. This person will be responsible for the welfare of approximately 70 boarding and day girls in Pembroke House, one of the seven boarding houses within our extensive campus. This is an exciting time to join the College and the House plays a central role in the life of pupils at the Senior School where each pupil feels that their contribution to that community is both recognised and valued.

If appropriate, the HM will teach a reduced timetable. This is not essential however given the temporary nature of the role. We will offer you extensive ongoing CPD opportunities and a highly supportive working environment as well as a range of other staff benefits.

Previous experience gained within a boarding environment is essential, as is a willingness to make a full contribution to life in this busy boarding school.

We welcome all applications especially from independent thinkers, creative minds and inspirational people and very much look forward to receiving your application.
