Applications are invited from suitably skilled and motivated professionals for the full time, fixed term, one year position of Boarding House Supervisor commencing ASAP. Casual opportunities for employment are also being considered.

Alternatively, Boarding Supervisors may wish to gain teaching qualifications and their experience in Boarding will develop strong skills in managing student wellbeing responsibilities inherent in any teaching position.

This position involves shift work, including weekends and some overnight stays on a rotating roster.  Accommodation provided for overnight stays.

Please note: staff may be required to work some additional days during non-term weeks to undertake duties including, but not limited to, preparing for the commencing Term.  Staff will be remunerated accordingly.
