Vollständige Beschreibung

From September 2027 to June 2028 OUR PHILOSOPHY At Beau Soleil, we believe it’s what you do that counts. This philosophy holds true in all that we do as staff and for our students. We are a community that believes in the power of action, engagement and participation, inside and outside of the classroom. Our unique holistic education is built around four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Ambition and Determination, which provide a framework to community life for our international student body. Our students come from over sixty different countries, with diverse academic backgrounds and a wide range of future aspirations. With curricular programmes in both English and French, students graduate with an IB or High School Diploma. Within this framework, small class sizes allow for a flexible programme and staff are encouraged and supported to bring new ideas to all that they do. OUR COMMUNITY Our location in the heart of Villars-sur-Ollon, offers an enviable lifestyle with access to skiing in the winter months and a multitude of outdoor and sporting activities throughout the year. Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva are all within easy reach for cultural adventures and inspiration. The Beau Soleil campus is an inspiring place to work with facilities that are second to none. Our ongoing campus development and maintenence programme ensures that our students and staff thrive in an environment of which they can be rightly proud. YOUR PROFILE We are looking for a caring, reliable and enthusiastic Boarding Assistant to join our community. Working closely with the Housemaster/mistress (HM) and Deputy Housemaster/mistress (DHM), you will help foster a warm and supportive atmosphere — a true “home away from home” where students feel comfortable, respected and motivated to reach their full potential. As a constant presence in the house, you will play an essential role in the daily life of our students — offering guidance, encouragement and a listening ear. Whether you are helping with studies, joining in evening activities or simply sharing everyday moments, your contribution will help make boarding life both meaningful and memorable. This residential position offers a unique opportunity to become part of a vibrant international community and to gain valuable experience in pastoral care, education and youth development. It’s particularly suited to recent graduates or young professionals who are compassionate, responsible and eager to make a positive difference in the lives of young people. At Beau Soleil, you’ll help shape an environment where kindness and effort are celebrated, curiosity is encouraged, and every student feels truly at home — a place where both students and staff can grow and flourish.
