Job Opportunity at Marlborough College

Marlborough provides an exceptional, contemporary education set in a beautiful environment steeped in history. It is a welcoming community where ambition and scholarship are highly valued, creativity is celebrated, diversity is embraced, and each pupil is encouraged and challenged to be the best they can be.

We are seeking a dynamic colleague committed to the busy life of a full boarding school. The successful candidate will lead the pastoral team in house and must have excellent pastoral instincts and significant experience of pastoral care, preferably in a boarding environment. In addition to leading the House, the successful candidate is expected to teach approximately 60% of a teaching timetable, including A level. Any academic discipline that is part of the College curriculum will be considered.

The College is a full boarding school operating seven days a week, including evenings during term time. All staff are expected to contribute to the co-curricular life of the College outside regular academic hours. The successful candidate will be provided with spacious accommodation attached to the house.

To submit an online application, click the 'Apply' button above. Please specify in your application which of the above roles you are applying for.

If you require accommodations or additional support during your application process, please contact the Recruitment team by email at [e-mail] or by phone at 01672 892461.

We reserve the right to close this role early if a sufficient number of applications are received. We may also call applicants for interviews while the role is still open. Early applications are therefore encouraged.

Marlborough College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and the College may ask applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those that are 'spent') unless they are 'protected' under DBS filtering rules, to assess suitability to work with children.
