Accommodation

The Houseparent will be required to live within the boarding house. The spacious accommodation will be provided free of any charges for rent, heat or light.

The Houseparent of College East House will teach at least a 50% timetable of lessons. However, this will depend on the subject specialism of the successful candidate and the availability of teaching.
