  • A warm, collegial staff culture aligned with the Somerville House Culture of Care framework.
  • A strong commitment to professional learning, including investment in IBDP training for interested staff as we expand our dual QCE-IBDP pathway.
  • A community where staff and students are known, supported and encouraged to thrive.

Somerville House is committed to the safety, protection and wellbeing of all children in our care, and we expect our staff to uphold the highest standards of child safeguarding.
