We are seeking to appoint a Clerk to provide advice to the Chair and Council to ensure corporate compliance and effective governance.

The successful candidate will be highly motivated, educated to degree level and have legal or company secretarial qualifications or experience.

There is also the opportunity for the post holder to be the Data Protection Officer, who will provide support, advice and assurance of compliance across all areas of data protection and GDPR.

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

Roedean is committed to safeguardng 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.
