Deputy Houseparent

We are looking for a warm, reliable and organised Deputy Houseparent to join our boarding team and help create a supportive, well-structured environment for our students. Working closely with the Houseparents, the Deputy Houseparent plays an important role in the day-to-day life of the house, supporting students’ well-being, personal development and academic progress. The role would suit someone who enjoys working with young people, values pastoral care and understands the importance of helping students feel settled, supported and at home. The Deputy Houseparent helps build a positive sense of community within the house, supporting students through the everyday opportunities and challenges. Working alongside the Houseparents, they help create an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to grow in confidence, independence and responsibility. RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES We reserve the right to appoint the right candidate ahead of the closing date. Appointment to take effect from August 2026 Applications should be through the TES website. Le Régent is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants will therefore need to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post. Third-Country Nationals’ Applications (non EU/EFTA) Third-country nationals should be aware that obtaining a work permit is a lengthy process with stricter regulations for third-country nationals (such as those from the UK) compared to EU/EFTA nationals. While we may consider appointing a third-country national, preference will be given to candidates who hold a Swiss residence permit or an EU/EFTA passport.
