Residential Staff and Pastoral Duties

EAC will provide free accommodation and full board for residential staff (where available and required) in return for pastoral duties, which are performed in addition to your other contractual duties.

Each residential staff member will be timetabled for pastoral duties on one night per week Pastoral Duties will vary from centre to centre, but will generally include:

• Helping group leaders to settle students for bed
• Dealing with any problems or emergency situations as required

NB:  Some centres require staff to monitor lunchtime sittings and queues.  Our Activity Staff will usually perform this duty, however, teachers should note that in cases of short-staffing due to absence etc, it is expected that teachers will assist with this duty if required.

Please note:  Residential Teachers are not excluded from performing pastoral duties
