Deputy Head: Pastoral

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 and challenging whole school role which would suit a candidate with experience of pastoral leadership.  This is a residential role and accommodation suitable for a family will be provided.

The Deputy Head: Pastoral is a key member of the Senior Team, and this is a great opportunity for a highly qualified and experienced individual to take responsibility for leading the School’s pastoral strategies to ensure the progress and welfare of every pupil.  This role includes the role of Designated Safeguarding Lead.

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, 1 June 2026.  

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