Resident Graduate Assistant (With Specialism In Modern Foreign Languages)

Roedean
An independent 11-18 girls’ day and boarding school in Brighton

Required from late August 2024 until June 2025

Resident Graduate Assistant
(with specialism in Modern Foreign Languages)
(full time, term time)

Roedean is an extraordinary school, sitting within the South Downs National Park and overlooking the English Channel. It is not just the location, but our reputation for excellence in pastoral care, our strong academic focus, and our genuine belief in the importance of creativity and an all-round education, that makes Roedean unique.

This is a one year post that would be suitable for a person wanting to gain both pastoral and academic experience in an independent boarding school. It is a residential post and the successful applicant would be provided with accommodation in the school, and would work with the House staff in taking responsibility for the care of a group of boarders. Their role would be to promote the wellbeing and academic development of the boarders, and to support the provision of a lively and secure environment for the students, which is conducive both to learning and personal development.

They would be keen to immerse themselves in the life of the school community, gaining experience in the Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) department. This is an exciting opportunity for a fluent Spanish or German speaker to support students in their conversation skills, working with small groups alongside the main classroom teachers, and also supporting the School’s vast co-curricular programme.

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. An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful applicants.
