About Rose Hill School
Rose Hill School is an Independent Co-educational Day School situated in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. Founded in 1832, it educates pupils aged 3 to 13, divided into three phases, based on the same site: PrePrep (Nursery to Year 2); Middle (Years 3 to 5); and Upper (Years 6 to 8). The School instils a deep commitment to kindness and respect for one another, both within the school community and throughout the world. In turn, this underpins a curiosity for learning and creativity, and provides pupils with opportunities to gain in confidence and courage, and to have resilience to tackle life’s challenges both now and in the future. Childhood is precious and pupils are encouraged to treasure it. Rose Hill School is a vibrant and exciting place to work. Outside the classroom there are many activities and staff are expected to take an interest in all aspects of School life.

Terms and Conditions
Rose Hill School is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants are subject to an enhanced DBS check and must provide proof of qualifications in accordance with the requirements of the Children Act 1989, as amended.

This role amounts to regulated activity with children. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Proof of identity and eligibility to work in the UK is also required. The completion of a Medical Questionnaire forms an essential part of the pre-employment process for all teaching and non-teaching posts in the School.
