Required from September 2026

Director of Sixth Form

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 seeking to appoint an inspirational, dynamic and talented individual to lead and shape the School’s Sixth Form at Roedean. Reporting to the Deputy Heads, the Director of Sixth Form will develop an exciting vision and strategy for an enriching and attractive Sixth Form programme, in which all students will flourish.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Deputy Heads, taking responsibility for the welfare, academic progress and wider school experience of Sixth Form students. Alongside the Admissions and Year 11 teams, they will drive the recruitment of Sixth Form students and the retention of Year 11 students into the Sixth Form, including at national and overseas events.

This is an exciting time for the Sixth Form at Roedean, and the postholder will play a key role in the continual evolution of our Sixth Form curriculum and our innovative enrichment programme for Years 12 and 13.

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, 20 February 2026.

We reserve the right to interview and appoint at any time.
