About This Role
The working pattern:
Working hours: 09.00 – 17.00, 3 days per week during Term time (33 weeks per year) plus 2 weeks prior to the start of the academic year, 1 week during the Christmas holiday, 1 week during the Easter holiday and 1 day in each of the 3 half term holidays.

The role: The Guardianship Administrator plays a crucial role in safeguarding and supporting international boarders, with particular responsibility for boys on Child Student Visas. The post holder is responsible for vetting all nominated educational guardians, either in person or online via Teams video call, to assess the suitability and quality of care offered, and for regularly spot-checking arrangements during holidays through ad hoc communication with guardians, parents and boys. Maintaining a comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date record of guardianship on the School database, and ensuring that all House Masters are kept informed of relevant details, are essential to the role. For more information please review the job description attached as a separate document to this advertisement.
The skills: The role offers the opportunity for involvement at the heart of the School’s pastoral activities in a busy, challenging and continuously changing environment. It requires first-class administrative skills, good judgement, a proactive approach, tact, discretion, initiative, good personal organisation and great flexibility, as well as an ability to prioritise and work to deadlines. The confidence to report concerns to House Masters and Senior Management is critical, along with the ability to deal confidently with enquiries from parents, guardians, boys, colleagues and external agencies.
The Benefits Include
- free lunch
- free parking
- automatic enrolment in the School’s pension scheme
- use of the School’s sports facilities such as the swimming pool, gym, and running track.
- subsidised membership of the tennis, golf, angling and social clubs.
The environment: Harrow School is one of the world’s most famous schools. Founded in 1572 by a local yeoman farmer, John Lyon, under a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I, it is located on a 324-acre estate encompassing much of Harrow on the Hill in north-west London. Around 830 boys aged 13 to 18, who come from all over Britain and across the world, live in the School’s 12 boarding Houses, and there are about 120 teaching staff and over 500 non-teaching staff.
Applications will be processed as they are received and interviews may take place before the closing date, so early application is recommended.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are values that are important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome everyone regardless of their background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants must be willing to undergo enhanced child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with any past employer and the Disclosure and Barring Service, and it is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
No member of staff will be able to start until these checks are complete and this process takes, on average, a month. Please plan accordingly.
