House Assistant

Required from January 2025

House 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.

We are looking for a House Assistant who will be part of the team who provide care and support for our boarders and day pupils during term time. A House Assistant's priority is to ensure the happiness, well-being, safety, health and moral education of the boarders and day pupils in the House.

The successful candidate will have experience and/or qualifications working with young people, a genuine interest in the care and development of children and young people and excellent administrative and communication skills.

Hours: 24 or 38 hours per week, term time only.

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.

Please download an application pack from our website (www.roedean.co.uk/Vacancies) or contact Louisa Butler via vacancies@roedean.co.uk.

Closing date: 9am, 29 November 2024. Interviews will be held w/c 2 December 2024.

The successful candidate will have experience and/or qualifications working with young people, a genuine interest in the care and development of children and young people and excellent administrative and communication skills.
