Employment

Our Boarding House is run by a close-knit team of staff whose aim is to make this term-time home a safe, warm and welcoming environment at all times. We are looking for down-to-earth experienced Senior Boarding staff to ensure that the boarding students’ wellbeing and academic needs are met.

This position is commencing in 2026.

We would welcome applications from Senior Boarding House Supervisor candidates who are looking to build a long-term relationship as part of the School’s Boarding Team.

This role will involve supporting our students in their transition from home life to boarding life and monitoring their wellbeing and academic progress.

Our ideal candidate will have boarding, psychology or social work qualifications or be actively working towards qualifications in these areas. They will also need to have experience fostering professional relationships with teenagers.

They will be expected to actively contribute to the Boarding House senior team planning and assisting in developing proactive, innovative and supportive strategies for boarding students. This includes supporting the Head of Boarding in the operational requirements of running a successful Boarding House. 

Duties will be performed across a seven-day roster, including weekend management responsibilities, which are shared across five Senior Boarding House roles. 

The ability to communicate and connect with our Boarding families and integrate their involvement in the whole “life” of the Boarding House is paramount.

To be successful, you need to be a positive role model who is interested in and committed to working with adolescent girls. Humor and enthusiasm are welcome attributes, and the ability to work as part of a close-knit team would be highly valued.

A willingness to obtain a PTD endorsement driving license and ‘MR’ Bus License would be considered an advantage.

Apart from the necessary qualifications, we look for people who are the right fit with our values. Perth College is committed to supporting and encouraging our students to reach their full potential.

Applications can be sent via email to [email protected] and should include at least two referees who can comment on your work performance.

Applications close 12.00 pm on Tuesday 9 December 2025. The School reserves the right to withdraw this advertisement earlier than the closing date.

As part of Perth College’s safe recruitment and selection practices, applicants will be required to undergo pre-employment child safety screening.
