Job overview
Roedean is an extraordinary school, sitting in the South Downs, overlooking the English Channel, however it is not just the location, but the strong academic focus with a genuine belief in the importance of creativity and an all-round education that makes Roedean unique.
We are seeking a remarkable and visionary person to join our team. You will be experienced and well qualified, but most importantly, you will have the girls’ aspirations and welfare at the heart of your vision. We are seeking someone who values kindness and generosity, who can build transformational relationships and who wants to make a difference to every individual, as an individual.

The position would also suit someone keen to develop the depth of experience to prepare themselves for a pastoral leadership role within the next 1-2 years. The Head of Year will teach approximately 10 – 12 periods per week.
Roedean is at a very exciting time in its development, with innovation, growth and the development of first-class facilities at the heart of its plans. We welcome your interest in being part of our continuing journey.

Values and vision
The School was founded in 1885, and the founding sisters wanted to provide a “thorough, physical, intellectual, and moral” education. This ethos continues today, and Roedean provides a genuinely holistic education, in which all elements complement each other; this approach places a high value on all the experiences that happen beyond the classroom in sport, art, drama, music, and dance, as well as community outreach and partnerships.
The ‘Six Pillars’ of Roedean are to encourage healthy and active living, a strong academic foundation, an appreciation of sport, culture, and the arts, to build independence of thought and character, to build on skills and confidence, and to have moral and personal values.
