Invites applications for Girls’ Boarding Matron/Nurse

Braeburn Arusha wishes to invite applications for the position of the girls’boarding matron. The matron is expected to sleep in at the girls board­ing house in Kisongo, five nights of the week.

Our matrons are a parental presence in each of our houses. They support the practical routine of the pupils throughout the school term. Duties include wake up call for students in the morning, support in extra-curricular activities, supervision of laundry, as well as providing appropriate emotion­al support. This role requires working unsociable hours and weekends.

We are looking for a caring and exemplary role model, who must have an excellent understanding of the needs of girls and boys in different develop­mental age groups, as well as the ability to liaise well with parents and school personnel.

Qualifications in child care and nursing will be advantageous. Duties may include assisting with pupil records, prep and household accounts. A good level of administrative skills would therefore be helpful.

The successful candidate will be dedicated to providing the highest standards in working with young people. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.
