Boarding House Manager

About Us

St Margaret's College offers a unique education for girls from Year 0 through to Year 13 for boarding and day girls. We have a dual pathway with NCEA and the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme and a strong emphasis on wellbeing and pastoral care as well as academic success. With a commitment to holistic education, balancing academic excellence with a multitude of co‑curricular opportunities, St Margaret’s College encourages students and staff to discover their passions and be the very best they can be.

Our boarding houses are more than a place to stay, they’re a home away from home where friendships are made, confidence is nurtured, and girls thrive in a caring and supportive community. We care for around 150 girls, from across New Zealand and abroad.

We’re looking for a warm, professional, and dedicated person to join our Middle School boarding team, Years 7 to 10, who naturally creates a sense of belonging and brings calm, care, and connection to every interaction.

In this role, you will :

• Care deeply about the wellbeing of our girls and help make boarding feel like home
• Be approachable, empathetic, and a trusted mentor who builds strong, positive relationships
• Model professionalism and uphold high standards of care, safety, and wellbeing
• Work collaboratively with the wider boarding team to create a fun, inclusive, family‑like atmosphere
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with parents and colleagues
• Ideally bring experience working with or caring for young people (in education, youth work, or a residential setting, though enthusiasm and heart go a long way too!)
• The details :

Permanent part‑time role (primarily term time) with some hours required on site to welcome boarding girls back prior to start of each year and term

If you’re someone who thrives on connection, loves working with young people, and wants to make a genuine difference in their daily lives, we’d love to hear from you. A copy of the position description for the role can be found on this link :
