Governess-Governor
Job Title: Rota Governess
Schedule: 2 weeks on/off
Start Date: ASAP
Location: London (Sloane Square) + international travels
Children: B7, B4.5 and B3.5 years-old
Salary: Starting at £70K GPA, depending on experience and qualifications

A busy UHNW family is seeking a highly qualified and experienced governess to join her household, working on a rota basis (2 weeks on/off). With three boys aged 7, 4.5, and 3.5, the candidate will play a pivotal role in their educational development, working closely with the current head nanny who holds a Norland qualification. The role entails providing academic support and overseeing the boys' educational needs, including preparation for the 7+ exam in January 2025. The successful candidate will have a background in teaching and/or tutoring, preferably within UHNW households.

Responsibilities:
Collaborate with the current nannies, in creating and implementing a comprehensive educational plan tailored to each child's needs and developmental stage.
Provide one-on-one tutoring sessions focusing on a range of subjects, including but not limited to English, mathematics, science, and languages.
Foster a supportive and enriching learning environment that encourages intellectual curiosity and academic excellence.
Coordinate with external tutors and educational resources to supplement the boys' learning experiences.
Accompany the family on international travels during school holidays, ensuring continuity in educational activities and support.
Assist with administrative tasks related to the boys' education, such as scheduling appointments, managing resources, and tracking progress.
Maintain open and clear communication with the family’s PA and other household staff members, reporting on the boys' academic progress and any concerns or developments.

Requirements:
A background in teaching and/or tutoring, preferably with experience working in UHNW households.
Familiarity with the British education system, including preparation for the 7+ exam.
Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to multitask and prioritise effectively.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written.
Flexibility to adapt to changing schedules and travel requirements.
Valid passport for international travels (the family spends a lot of time in the USA, and would need the nanny to hold a passport valid for a travel visa).

This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated and experienced educator to join a prestigious household and make a meaningful impact on the lives of three bright young boys.
