About this role
Location: YCIS Shanghai Lingang
Purpose of Role:
The Residence Hall Teacher is responsible for supporting the holistic development and daily wellbeing of students within the residential boarding environment at YCIS Shanghai Lingang. This role sits at the heart of the boarding community, combining pastoral care, teaching, and residential life responsibilities to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment in which every student can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
Central to this role is the belief that boarding life is an extension of the classroom, and that the routines, relationships, and experiences of residential life are powerful vehicles for growth and learning. The Residence Hall Teacher will deliver structured language support sessions and life skills programmes, contribute to a vibrant campus life offer, and ensure that every student in their care feels valued, supported, and inspired.
During the initial transitional year, the Residence Hall Teacher will be based at the YWIES boarding facility, working alongside their team to observe, learn, and plan, while fulfilling regular boarding duties and serving as a primary caregiver for YCIS Shanghai Lingang students. As the boarding provision transitions onto the YCIS Shanghai Lingang campus, this role will play an increasingly important part in shaping the identity and culture of a flagship residential programme.
