Housemaster/Housemistress Candidate Information Pack Starting September 2026 Welcome from the Headmaster Dear Applicant, The word I hear mentioned most regularly when speaking to the pupils, parents, and staff of Shiplake College is ‘community’. So, thank you for taking the time to consider the role of Housemaster/Housemistress, as it represents a wonderful opportunity to join our very special Shiplake community. Shiplake College is an HMC co-educational boarding and day school offering a holistic education for around 580 pupils from Year 7 to Sixth Form. There has been a co-educational Sixth Form since 1998 and since September 2023 girls have been welcomed into Year 7, as we continue our journey to become a fully co-educational place of learning. We are nestled in leafy South Oxfordshire, five minutes from Henley, and sit right on the River Thames. It is a beautiful place to work. As well as providing a fantastic learning and living environment for young people, Shiplake offers an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding working environment. We strive to recruit the best possible teaching and support staff to drive the College forwards and ensure we continue to provide the best possible rounded education for our pupils. Above all, Shiplake is a school where we try to live out authentically our three core values – the Three Is – Inclusive, Individual, and Inspirational. ‘Inclusive’ is our cornerstone with our strong sense of community in which everyone has value and where the prevailing culture is one of kindness. ‘Individual’ represents our all-ability school in which we not only recognise but also celebrate that everyone is different - thank goodness for that! This is a personal best school. And finally, ‘Inspirational’ - the pre-requisite at Shiplake is that everyone – students and staff alike - turn up each day with a smile, a positive attitude, and a willingness to engage with all aspects of school life. Shiplake College is a school where academic rigour is non-negotiable, but character development is just as important. We strive to help students develop broad interests across a wide range of co-curricular areas, bolster self-esteem, and give a sense of our place in the wider world with the aim to make a positive difference to society. Embracing the lifestyle at a busy and vibrant boarding school is paramount for anyone wishing to work at Shiplake. Knowing our pupils well enables us to ensure that they get the best from their education here, and this is a pivotal part of any role at the College. This is a great opportunity for the right candidate and ‘fit’ is very important to us. Thank you for your interest in working at Shiplake College and, as we look to an exciting future, I hope that you will consider being part of that story. Tyrone Howe The College Shiplake College is a thriving and relatively young HMC school. In September 2025 we welcomed 580 boarding and day pupils aged 11- 18 (up from 536 the previous term). There has been a co-educational Sixth Form since 1998 and since September 2023 girls have joined in Year 7 (now making up 40% of all co-educational year groups) as the College goes fully co-educational. Overlooking the River Thames, two miles upstream of the famous Henley Royal Regatta stretch, pupils enjoy a beautiful and inspiring 63-acre rural site. The College is conveniently located near major air, railway and motorway networks, close to Reading, London and Oxford and just 40 minutes from Heathrow. Full, weekly, part- and flexi-boarding is available from Year 9 (from Year 7 in 2027), with ad hoc ‘overnight stays’ also an option for day pupils. Every pupil is placed at the heart of Shiplake life and the College’s ethos is underpinned by the Three Is – Inclusive, Individual and Inspirational. Shiplake provides a friendly, supportive and structured environment to bring out the best in each and every pupil. Renowned for outstanding pastoral care and personal development, the College welcomes pupils with wide-ranging skills and talents, who will make the most of the many opportunities offered to them. The College provides an education that is tailored to the individual, achieved through engaging and inspirational teaching, delivered in small classes where the teachers can know and understand each pupil’s method of learning. The College continues to see year-on-year improvements in examination results. In August 2025, Shiplake leavers achieved excellent public examination grades, with the best ever GCSE results setting a new academic benchmark for the College. At GCSE, pupils achieved 38% of 9-7 grades and 64% grades 9-6, an increase from 34% and 58% respectively in 2024. Overall, 93% of GCSE grades were marked 9-4 (93% in 2024). At Sixth Form, the percentage of A*-C grades was 82%, and 59% at A*-B. In addition to a strong academic foundation, the College offers excellent sporting, artistic and co-curricular opportunities. Two afternoons are reserved for an array ...

Ministry Assistant Scheme Information Starting in September 2026, St Ebbe’s Church is seeking to appoint a team of Ministry Assistants (MAs) to be with us for one year, with a possible second. We are a lively, diverse, multi-congregation, evangelical, city-centre church. We are made up of Oxford University undergraduates and postgraduates, families, young adults, elderly, people affected by homelessness, and those from our local parish, one of the more deprived areas of Oxford. As a St Ebbe’s MA you would get involved in every aspect of our life together as God’s family, working alongside and embedded in one of our ministry teams. Why do we have a Ministry Assistant team? St Ebbe’s has a passion to see God glorified through reaching out, building up and sending out. The MA scheme is a key part of that vision, as we seek to train and build up God’s people for a lifetime’s service. We want to enable those on the scheme both to capture a vision for full-time Christian ministry and to discern whether they are suited to it. The various aspects of the scheme aim to do this: training in Christian ministry, particularly teaching God’s word, putting this into practice with focussed ministry in a variety of contexts and practical service of the church. Each Ministry Assistant focusses their work in one main ministry area: e.g. undergraduate ministry, postgraduate ministry, 20-30s ministry, young mums, youth or parish and homeless ministry. This is a context where key skills can be observed, practised and developed. It includes prayer, overseeing a small group Bible study and meeting up one-to-one to read the Bible with Christians or non-Christians. A key part of the scheme is working alongside a senior staff member as a mentor. You will have an opportunity to see ministry life close up, with all its struggles and pain, as well as joys and fulfilment. Your mentor will oversee your involvement in the ministry and meet with you regularly for pastoral care and ministry development. Each of the team is usually also involved in some area of children’s and youth ministry (Sunday and mid-week clubs) which gives a breadth to the training and experience of church life, in addition to personal study of God’s word. St Ebbe’s hosts the regional Ministry Training Course (see here), which runs on Tuesdays. All MAs are part of the course along with around 50 others from the region. With Bible expositions, doctrine, practical ministry, workshops and a detailed Bible overview it’s a wonderful part of the training the scheme provides. As a busy city-centre church, we have a full diary and lots of activities taking place week by week. MAs serve these very practically, as each week time is given to moving chairs, organising events and generally assisting the smooth running of church life. Who are we looking for? • Those who love Christ and are seeking to grow as his disciple. • Those discerning their suitability for set-apart gospel ministry. • Those with a passion to serve Christ’s church, including in practical tasks. • Those committed to our Declaration of Faith (see the Application Form). What are the goals of the scheme for each Ministry Assistant? Our overall aim for the scheme is to enable a wide range of people to gain a vision and a passion for Christian ministry with the prayer that suitable candidates would continue on to further training and ministry. To enable this we aim to develop three areas: • To help grow in Christ-like character, through many opportunities to listen to God in his word, by serving practically, by being part of the team and through the personal oversight of their ministry mentor. • To develop strong gospel convictions that will stand them in good stead for a lifetime of service. • To develop competence in teaching God’s word, through the opportunities they have had to teach others and the feedback they have received, as well as a range of other skills. What is distinctive about the St Ebbe’s Ministry Assistant Scheme? Opportunities to teach the Bible, to share life, to be trained in ministry and be shaped by service are common to a number of other schemes. However, each scheme is different and serving as an MA at St Ebbe’s will give you a distinctive experience in the following ways: • Being a member of a city-centre church with multiple ministries and multiple congregations. There is a real breadth of ministries at St Ebbe’s. • We seek to offer a rounded experience, offering equal opportunity for training, practical service and ministry. • Being a member of a large staff team, benefitting from the focussed support and input of your ministry mentor. • Gaining hands-on experience of a diversity of ministries across the church family whilst focussing on one particular ministry area. • Benefitting from the South Central Ministry Training Course and sharing with other MAs, as well as church members, from across the region. • Enjoying the unique place that...

These new roles will work closely with our Senior Assessor to deliver the Level 2 Certificate in Adult Care, which is already being delivered in the East Midlands and West Midlands Regions very successfully.
Assessors play a vital role in shaping learners’ journeys to achieve their qualifications. Through a combination of some home working to review written assignments and spending time in services assessing colleagues, you will observe, support, and guide students throughout their vocational training. It will be a vital part of the role to apply all your knowledge of a support worker role to review abilities and provide constructive feedback to help learners grow and achieve their goals.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced support worker, ideally with some supervisory or leadership skills, ready to take the next step in their career.
We are an exceptional and passionate Learning & Development team. As part of our team, you’ll be well supported and have opportunities to collaborate with experts who are committed to creating impactful learning experiences and shaping the future of our workforce.
The role is offered on 20 hours per week, worked across a minimum of 2.5 days per week. This may be an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to continue working in their service whilst progressing their career.
The Qualification Assessor role is needed to support and assess the Level 2 Adult Care Certificate as part of FitzRoy’s strategic goal to provide meaningful and relevant qualifications to our support teams.
Full training and an Assessor qualification will be provided and must be completed by the successful applicant. Therefore, you must have the academic ability and commitment to study and achieve the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) for 1 day per week (paid time off rota) between December 2024 and April 2025 whilst still in service.

Part Time Qualification Assessor (Internal Applicants Only) – South region
FitzRoy is committed to empowering our staff as experts in their fields and offer qualification and development opportunities for our dedicated team members. To deliver these exciting plans we are expanding our L&D Assessor team with two new Internal Qualification Assessor roles for the East and South Regions. These new roles will work closely with our Senior Assessor to deliver the Level 2 Certificate in Adult Care, which is already being delivered in the East Midlands and West Midlands Regions very successfully.
Assessors play a vital role in shaping learners’ journeys to achieve their qualifications. Through a combination of some home working to review written assignments and spending time in services assessing colleagues, you will observe, support, and guide students throughout their vocational training. It will be a vital part of the role to apply all your knowledge of a support worker role to review abilities and provide constructive feedback to help learners grow and achieve their goals.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced support worker, ideally with some supervisory or leadership skills, ready to take the next step in their career.
We are an exceptional and passionate Learning & Development team. As part of our team, you’ll be well supported and have opportunities to collaborate with experts who are committed to creating impactful learning experiences and shaping the future of our workforce.
The role is offered on 20 hours per week, worked across a minimum of 2.5 days per week. This may be an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to continue working in their service whilst progressing their career.
The Qualification Assessor role is needed to support and assess the Level 2 Adult Care Certificate as part of FitzRoy’s strategic goal to provide meaningful and relevant qualifications to our support teams.
Full training and an Assessor qualification will be provided and must be completed by the successful applicant. Therefore, you must have the academic ability and commitment to study and achieve the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) for 1 day per week (paid time off rota) between December 2024 and April 2025 whilst still in service.
The contract start date will be from 30th March 2026, on the understanding that by this date the Assessors qualification will have been successfully completed by the successful candidate.
