Job overview
We are seeking a well-qualified and ambitious Housemistress/Housemaster. This is a great opportunity for a talented individual to lead the school’s pastoral strategies and secure the highest quality care and wellbeing for every pupil in their house.
We want to hear from passionate, considerate and academically-minded individuals with the enthusiasm, experience and energy to lead one of our highly effective teams and relate to and support our young people.
You will be someone with great potential who has strong pastoral experience across the school and is dedicated to ensuring that every pupil succeeds and gets the support and encouragement they need. You will also have the communication skills and insight to build strong relationships across the School.
While the role would suit a current Housemistress/Housemaster we are keen to attract applicants whose experience will not, as yet, cover all aspects of the role. We will provide the training and 1-1 mentoring to support the development of skills needed at this level. It would also suit someone keen to develop the depth of experience to prepare themselves for a senior boarding role within the next 1-2 years.

Closing date for applications: 9am, 19 March 2018.
Due to the need to appoint quickly we reserve the right to interview at any stage of the process.
Roedean is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful applicants.

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.
