Conditions

All boarding staff are primarily housed in the boarding apartments, which are properties affiliated with the school. Overnight on-call duty is an inherent responsibility of boarding staff and is not typically quantified as work hours. Overnights simply require staff to remain within the boarding premises to address any potential emergencies. This is why accommodation is provided to all boarding staff, as it reflects the duty of care central to this role. To account for the rare occurrence of overnight emergency calls or emergency calls during the day, a provision of 5 hours will be allocated for this duty.

40 hours/week - actual work hours
5 hours/week - is the emergency time allotted
total 45 working hours per week
