PART TIME - Fixed term, approx 15hrs per week.

We are looking to appoint a Personnel Manager on a fixed term Maternity Cover contract who will manage the school’s personnel systems. The successful candidate will have significant personnel experience, ideally in a school setting as well as being a highly committed, enthusiastic and organised individual.

DGSB is on a very exciting journey and you would be joining us at an important moment in the school's history. Having retained our "Good " OFSTED designation, without condition, in October 2019 under a new and demanding inspection framework, we are now on the cusp of moving into an entirely new school which is currently being constructed on our top field. Our new accommodation will provide us with new and exciting opportunities both within our curriculum and within the wider community. Our school motto of "Fiat Lux" - "Let there be light" - has never been more appropriate or fitting!

Applications should include a completed application form, either through Kent Teach or the one found on the DGSB website, and a covering letter if applicable. If you have any questions, please contact the Headteacher's PA, Lizzie Reynolds, via email on lreynolds@dgsb.co.uk.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and expect all staff to share in this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undergo appropriate child protection screening including an enhanced DBS check.

Non-contributory access to the Benenden Healthcare Scheme is offered.

Information about the school

Dover Grammar School for Boys is a selective school with approximately 900 students on roll, of whom about 180 are in the Sixth Form. Girls are also admitted to the Sixth Form.

Our recent Ofsted Inspection (January 2025) report states that 'pupils thrive at this ambitious, inclusive school. The school motto ‘Fiat Lux’ (Let There Be Light) informs all that the school does.' We moved into new accommodation in July 2022 and our new building provides us with modern, bright, spacious teaching rooms, and has increased opportunities for students both inside and outside of the taught curriculum.

However, our success both in school – we recorded fantastic Progress 8 score in both 2023 and 2024 greater than +0.50 - and within the local community means that we are already looking to expand our site and develop opportunities further.

DGSB is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and expect all staff to share in this commitment. Successful candidates will be required to undergo appropriate child protection screening including an enhanced DBS check. An ‘online presence’ check may be carried out before any appointment is confirmed. All appointments are subject to the receipt of satisfactory references.

Non-contributory access to the Benenden Healthcare Scheme is offered to successful candidates.
