At Roedean, we are dedicated to providing a world-class education that inspires and empowers girls aged 11-18 to achieve their full potential. Our stunning cliff-top location overlooking the sea, combined with our rich heritage and commitment to academic excellence, makes Roedean a truly unique and inspiring place to learn and work. We are proud of our inclusive and supportive community where every student is encouraged to pursue their passions and develop the skills they need for future success.

We are seeking a remarkable and visionary person to join our team.

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.

This is a great opportunity for a highly skilled and enthusiastic Head of Learning Support (SENCo) with a passion for their subject and a commitment to ensure that every pupil flourishes in the highly successful department.

Roedean is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Please download an application pack from our website (www.roedean.co.uk/Vacancies) or contact Louisa Butler via [e-mail]. Please note we do not accept CVs.

Closing date: 9am, 20 June 2025. Due to the need to appoint quickly we reserve the right to interview and appoint at any time.
