Do you enjoy supporting young people and creating a welcoming, safe environment? If you're friendly and reliable, help us provide outstanding boarding accommodation. We provide mixed city centre accommodation, mainly for students on our Exeter Chiefs Rugby Academy programme.


This role is all about being a reassuring presence for our students overnight. You'll stay on-site from Monday 5pm to Tuesday 8am, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly and students feel supported during their stay.


You don't need to be a rugby expert but you will need to be approachable, calm under pressure, confident working independently and great at maintaining professional boundaries. You'll be part of a team that values communication, community spirit, and student wellbeing. And if you can cook or bring fun ideas for evening activities, that's a bonus!


If you've got experience working with young people and can handle the occasional curveball with a positive attitude, we'd love to hear from you. Interested?

We're totally committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all our students, and we expect you to be too. We follow safer recruitment statutory guidance (Keeping Children Safe in Education). If you're successful, you'll be required to complete thorough pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. All posts at Exeter College are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (amended 2013 and 2020)) mean that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected', so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. The MOJ's guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975, provides information about which convictions must be declared during job applications, related exceptions and further information.
