Part Time House Parent

Company: Nord Anglia Education
WHO WE ARE
Collège du Léman is one of Switzerland’s most prestigious international schools, located on the edge of Lake Geneva in view of the Swiss Alps. We welcome children from 2 to 18 years old to become part of a truly international community with more than 120 different nationalities. Our vision is to shape generations that harness differences and empower our students to change the world for the better.
We nurture individual strengths through our outstanding educators and the sheer breadth of opportunities that we offer as part of our curriculum and activities.
Collège du Léman is part of the Nord Anglia Education family of more than 80 premium schools, educating students in over 30 countries.
MAIN PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
As a part-time Houseparent, you will join a culturally diverse team of staff and students coming from a range of different countries. You will work hard in a unique and privileged scenario to create a supportive and nurturing environment for our boarders. More than caregivers, you are a mentor, advisor and a compass in their lives, available to meet any needs, be they emotional, academic or practical. You like and understand children and teenagers and you are able to use common sense to resolve any situation. The role requires flexibility and excellent communication with the boarding staff, the students and the parents.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Monitoring boarding students’ personal, academic progress, program of activities, and achievements;
  • Providing a high quality of pastoral care, “in loco parentis” (listening, caring, follow-up), in coordination with the School Counselling department and school nurses when appropriate;
  • 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.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
You are an energetic, enthusiastic, team player, but also resistant to pressure and well organised. You have a good sense of humour and believe in positive and respectful relationships. 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.
You will be exhausted at the end of the day, but the rewards will be extraordinary!
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Part-time House Parents will work one day per week and one weekend every other week. Accommodation and meals in a Boarding House will be provided when on duty.
Please note that applications are open to European citizens or holders of a Swiss work permit.
Start date: 1st November 2024
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
It is important that the post holder is always aware of Child Protection guidelines and observes a professional distance from students whilst still developing effective working and caring relationships. You understand and embrace the importance of diversity and inclusion and stand against discrimination in any form. Background investigations and reference checks for the past ten years will be conducted during the selection process.
