Head of House (Boarding), Pymble Ladies' College, Sydney - closes 18 September 2026
Pymble Ladies’ College is a school of the Uniting Church in Australia for girls Kindergarten to Year 12 with boarding from Year 7. At Pymble, we foster a world-class educational environment with the importance of global citizenship and a worldwide perspective central to our strategic intent.
We believe our staff, both teaching and non-teaching, are our most valuable resource. We are proud to have passionate and dedicated staff who recognise the unique strengths and qualities of every Pymble girl.
The role
A new chapter. A new sense of purpose. Come join us at Pymble Ladies' College in Boarding.
Perhaps you are looking for a role that draws on everything you have learned, as a parent, a mentor, an educator, or simply someone who has spent a lifetime understanding what young people need to thrive. Perhaps you are ready to bring that experience, your steadiness, your judgement and your care, into a community where it will genuinely matter every single day.
As Head of House, you will do more than oversee a boarding house, you will lead it. Living onsite, you will lead and mentor a team of House staff, building a culture where every girl is seen and known as a whole person, feels happy and safe, and has what she needs to thrive. You will walk alongside the girls through the ups and downs of adolescence, backing them through the hard days and celebrating the wins, and being someone they know they can rely on.
This is a role for someone who understands teenagers, who leads people with clarity and care, and who feels called to this work rather than simply choosing it. You will work alongside the other Heads of House, the Director of Boarding and your wider team to deliver a seamless, values-led Boarding experience across our four Houses, grounded in Care, Courage, Responsibility, Respect and Integrity.
Being part of the everyday rhythm of the House is what makes this role what it is. You'll be rostered for up to 43 hours a week during term time, most of that time spent alongside the Boarders, with the remainder set aside for the administrative work that keeps the House running smoothly. Four nights a week, you'll be there overnight, present for the small moments and the big ones. Boarding life doesn't stop neatly at the end of term either, so you'll also be on deck occasionally outside term time, including the week before the school year starts and the last two weekdays of each break, whenever the College needs you there.
It is demanding. It is also work you will carry with you long after these young women have grown and gone.
Click here for the position description.
Our kind of team member
You will demonstrate the following attributes and capabilities:
- Previous experience in supporting and mentoring of Boarders or young people
- Demonstrated passion for working with students in a residential setting and dedication to supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, academic and social needs

- Knowledge of relevant legislation, standards and practices relevant to a boarding environment
- Commitment to maintain boarding specific qualifications including a full driver license, First Aid, Youth Mental Health First Aid, Duty of Care and Boarding Fundamentals
- Ability to develop positive and supportive relationships with Boarders, parents and staff and demonstrate interpersonal skills that will sustain quality relationships
- Understanding of the requirements implicit in Duty of Care and ability to support the expectations of the College in relation to the care of Boarders
Your kind of workplace

That’s why every Teacher, Professional Services and Co-curricular staff member is valued for being the person they are, for the quality of their work, for their diverse contribution and for their wins – big and small.

We treasure our caring, collegial community, which Pymble people often refer to as the ‘Pymble family’. We also appreciate that our family is not the only one in the lives of Pymble people, so we ‘walk the talk’ when it comes to supporting work-life balance, providing family benefits and contributing to community connections.

The role
A new chapter. A new sense of purpose. Come join us at Pymble Ladies' College in Boarding.
Perhaps you're looking for a change, a new challenge, or simply a role that feels genuinely meaningful. Perhaps you've spent years in a caring profession, in hospitality, in community work, or raising a family of your own, and you're ready to bring that steadiness and warmth somewhere it will be felt every day. Whatever your path here, if you understand what young people need to feel safe and cared for, you already have what matters most.
As an Assistant Head of House, you'll be a constant, familiar presence in the everyday life of the House: the person who's there for the small moments as much as the big ones. You'll help create a genuine home away from home, supporting Boarders through the ups and downs of school life, and being someone they know they can talk to, lean on and cheer for. Working closely with your Head of House, you'll help keep the House running smoothly day to day, while always keeping an eye on what really matters, that every girl feels safe, known and supported.
It's a role with purpose and connection built into every shift, and no shortage of moments that remind you just how much of a difference you can make in a young person's life.
Due to a realignment of roles, we currently have a number of Assistant Head of House positions available, across full-time and part-time arrangements, with the details worked out together at interview.
