DO YOU HAVE A SPARE ROOM AND ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS?
Mayflower College is looking to recruit welcoming (and reliable) homestay families happy to accommodate international teenagers (and adults) into their family during their studies in Plymouth.
As a homestay family you need to meet students upon arrival (and departure) in Plymouth. Juniors have a weekly disco during the summer and require collection. Students study at Mayflower from 1 to 48 weeks (so long and short term hosting opportunities are available).
As a homestay family, responsibilities include:
- Encouraging students to speak English as much as possible
- Making student feel at home (treating them as a member of the family)
- Not to host another student of the same native language at the same time
- Providing a clean, comfortable room and home
- Not to host more than 4 international students at one time
The following should also be available to the student: sufficiently spacious bedroom with space for clothing, light laundry facilities, table available for private study, adequate heating and lighting, access to the bathroom as a member of the household, change of bed linen and towels, access to the internet/wi-fi, appropriate privacy from members of the opposite sex.
Please provide students with breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal each day; ideally students should eat their meals with the rest of the family. Ensure the welfare, safety and security of the student, both at home and outside (students are given curfew times relevant to their age).
Escort students to and from the Mayflower College on the first day of their course and provide bus timetable information to help the student travel to/from your home to Mayflower (and around Plymouth).
Under the ‘Rent a Room Allowance' you can earn £4250 gross per annum from paying guests without paying tax. All family members age 18+ should have a valid DBS check; this can be arranged through Mayflower College.
