About this Role

Required from as soon as possible until 1 July 2027

Resident Graduate Assistant

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.

This is a fixed term post until the end of this Academic Year. It would be suitable for a person wanting to gain experience in an independent boarding school. It is a residential post and the postholder would be provided with shared accommodation in the school and would work within a boarding house and a relevant department in school depending on qualifications and interest (for example academic teaching, performing arts, marketing or boarding).

The successful candidate would be keen to immerse themselves in the life of the school community, gaining experience in a particular department. This is an exciting opportunity for someone educated to degree level to gain more experience in a school environment, and also support the School's vast co-curricular programme as well as the boarding community.

We welcome your interest in being part of our journey at a time of continued development.

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.

Due to the need to appoint quickly, we reserve the right to interview and appoint at any time.
