As a Pastoral Support Dame’s Assistant, you will report to the Pastoral Support Team Manager, and you will work flexibly across our 25 Boarding Houses to provide cover when the Dame or Dame’s Assistant is absent. You will have frequent contact with the pupils and always put their safety and needs first. You will work collaboratively with the staff in all Houses, taking rest breaks to suit everyone’s needs.
Pupils in Eton are full time boarders, and their House is their ‘home’ while they are at school. You will be there to tend to their pastoral needs and wellbeing, delivering their medical care, overseen by the Health Centre, making sure they take all their meals and are properly dressed. You will take direction from either the Dame or, in her absence, the Housemaster or their deputy. You will also liaise with parents.
When you are not needed to cover in Houses then you will carry out administrative/practical tasks around the school as needed, such as checking and refilling First Aid Kits, helping out in central functions etc.
This role is term time only and you will also work any bank holidays that fall within term time.
You will be expected at all times to follow the relevant School Policies and guidance, in your work at the College.
Due to the needs of the school and the department, we may interview suitable candidates before the closing date. This job may also close early if a large number of applications are received. You are advised to submit your application as early as possible to avoid missing your chance to apply.
