Description

Repton Prep School are actively recruiting for a Residential Healthcare and Boarding Assistant to join our Health and Wellbeing team on a permanent basis.

Benefits include free meals provided during term-time and year-round accommodation, free of charge.

For a detailed description of duties, please view the job description.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment, therefore the following shall be deemed to be included, in addition to the duties that you may be required to perform:

Promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young persons for whom you are responsible and with whom you come into contact.

Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 it is a criminal offence for a person over 18 (e.g. teacher, matron, sports coach) to have a sexual relationship with a child under 18 where that person is in a position of trust in respect of that child, even if the relationship is consensual.

This applies where the child is in full-time education and the person works in the same establishment as the child, even if s/he does not teach the child.

Moreover, whatever the age of the pupil, a sexual relationship between an employee and a pupil will be considered an abuse of a position of trust and gross misconduct, likely to result in dismissal
