- Encouraging students to always behave appropriately and to be their best as members of a boarding community, where differences are celebrated and respected by all;
- Providing a good follow up to each single student and keep the Boarding team informed as well as parents;
- Implementing the Boarding House Code of Conduct and House rules, ensuring that alongside sanctions, rewards are also provided for the deserving boarders;
- Contributing to the activity program;
- Staying abreast of latest developments through training opportunities.

You have excellent interpersonal skills, especially with students. Your level of English is excellent. At least one successful experience in working with children and young people is a prerequisite.
