CP538 – Full-time Native English Governess/Governor required for B7, located in St John’s Wood, London, Salary £650 net per week, start September

A busy family is seeking a professional and qualified Governess/Governor to join their family and support their young son.

The boy has a good level of the English language and currently attends The American School in London. He is achieving good results at school, but the family feels his pronunciation and vocabulary are lacking.

He is a bright boy who enjoys most sports, tennis in particular and is a very creative individual, with a keen interest in art and sculpturing.

As a Governess/Governor you will be responsible for the boy’s education, supporting his current schooling programmes, offering further mentoring, educational development and homework assistance. You will be expected to produce weekly schedules for the boy and encourage education and learning at every opportunity.

In addition to this, you will be required to collect the boy from school daily and prepare a light meal for him.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified and experienced Governess/Governor with great references and previous experience of working in private households. A high level of education is required. The candidate should be active, positive, able to plan, be professional, organised, a great team player and have a sense of adventure. It would be beneficial to your application if you were able to speak French and/or Spanish.

This position is a live out position; therefore the candidate will need to be already located in London.

The working schedule will be 5 days per week with weekends off, working from 3 pm – 9 pm daily. Flexibility is essential as you may be required to work weekends once or twice a month and stay overnight when the parents travel.

The family travel extensively during school holidays, therefore you will be required to travel with them.

Interview to take place ASAP.
