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.

• Previous experience in supporting and mentoring of Boarders or young people

Perhaps you're looking for a change, a new challenge, or simply a role that feels genuinely meaningful.

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.

Inspire and engage students with service programmes across both schools and the wider campus, empowering them to live out their faith through action within our community.

Deliver Religious Education (RE) and/or Philosophy and Religious Studies (PRS) classes, depending on the agreed FTE and teaching component of your role. 

Strengthen connections between our school communities and the wider Body of Christ, fostering partnerships with local parishes, Anglican agencies, and faith-based initiatives.

Be an inspiring, relatable speaker who connects authentically with children, young people, staff, and families across diverse age groups. 

Have demonstrated experience providing pastoral care and school-based chaplaincy within a Christian educational setting. 

Show a proven ability to nurture spiritual growth, resilience, and wellbeing in students from Year 1 through to Year 13. 

Be adaptable and open to a flexible role structure, embracing either a part-time chaplaincy or a full-time role that incorporates teaching. 

Possess excellent communication, organisational, and collaborative leadership skills. 

Bring a caring, warm, proactive, and culturally responsive approach, grounded in Anglican tradition and open to ecumenical engagement. 

Demonstrate an understanding of contemporary issues in education and youth development. 

Model spiritual commitment and actively participate in school life and community activities. 

Hold current teacher registration (essential for the full-time teaching component; advantageous, but not essential for a part-time chaplaincy-only arrangement).
