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 an exciting opportunity for an organised, proactive and relationship-focused Fundraising Officer to support the continued growth of our Alumnae and Development programme.  The Fundraising Officer will play a central role in strengthening connections across our global alumnae and wider communities, while helping to deliver a thoughtful programme of fundraising and stewardship.  The post holder will be instrumental in identifying fundraising opportunities, nurturing relationships and ensuring that every interaction with our community is meaningful.

The successful candidate will have relevant experience in fundraising, event planning and delivery.  Familiarity with CRM/database systems and an appreciation of the importance of data accuracy is essential as are strong written communication skills and experience of producing engaging content or reports.  Experience in the independent/education sector desirable.

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.

Applications should be made via the My New Term Application Form.  This can be found by clicking the ‘Apply Now’ button on our website (www.roedean.co.uk/Vacancies).   Please note we do not accept CVs.

Closing date: 9am, 18 May 2026.  

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