Part- Time Head of Swimming
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 a remarkable and visionary person to join our team. You will be experienced and well qualified, but most importantly, you will have the girls’ aspirations and welfare at the heart of your vision. We are seeking someone who values kindness and generosity, who can build transformational relationships and who wants to make a difference to every individual, as an individual.
This is a great opportunity for a highly skilled and enthusiastic swimming specialist to be responsible for the overall strategic direction, leadership, organization and delivery of the whole school swimming programme. A role model for the girls, you will communicate with clarity and conviction, exemplifying the values of team work, determination, resilience and dedication in your daily approach, inspiring those you teach with your obvious love of sport.
The successful candidate will have a very high level of teaching and coaching competence in swimming, an excellent subject knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. Previous personal experience in participating or competing at a performance level and leading an individual sports programme would be desirable.
Hours – 12 – 16 per week with additional hours required in the Summer Term.
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.
