The People Behind Summer Boarding Courses
Experienced, compassionate professionals dedicated to creating a safe, enriching, and unforgettable summer for every student.
At Summer Boarding Courses, our people are at the heart of everything we do. United by a shared commitment to care, education, and international understanding, our staff create safe, enriching environments where young people can thrive.
Drawn from backgrounds including education, boarding, childcare, sport, welfare, and youth leadership, our teams bring both professional expertise and cultural sensitivity. Every member of staff embodies SBC’s core values of respect, inclusion, curiosity, care, and fun—ensuring students feel safe, supported, and inspired throughout their summer.
Our Hiring Approach
Our staff are selected through a rigorous and highly competitive recruitment process. Each year, we review a large number of applications, appointing only those who meet SBC’s high standards.
We look beyond experience alone, seeking professionals with strong judgement, excellent communication skills, and a genuine commitment to young people’s wellbeing. Cultural fit is essential—our staff naturally embody SBC’s values and understand the responsibility of caring for children in a residential, international environment.
Many staff return to SBC year after year, creating confident, experienced teams who deliver consistent, high-quality care across our campuses. All staff are interviewed, undergo an Enhanced DBS check, and provide at least two professional references, giving families complete peace of mind.
Training
Before our students arrive, every member of staff takes part in comprehensive training both online and on-site to ensure they are fully prepared to deliver a safe, enriching, and unforgettable summer.
Our training covers essential topics such as safeguarding, child protection, and working with international young people, as well as practical guidance on creating inclusive, engaging experiences for all. We go beyond the basics, offering innovative and extensive sessions designed to build confident, capable teams. Training includes behaviour management, safeguarding in practice, scenario-based workshops, responding to welfare concerns, supporting homesick students, managing group dynamics, and ensuring consistent, high-quality care in a residential international setting.
In addition to this, our management teams also attend a 2-day in-person training event designed to expand their knowledge and grow their skills even further and help them lead their camps as experts.
