Appointment of College Deputy Head (Prep)
Permanent – from 1 January 2026
This is a role that sits at the heart of St Joseph’s, with College-wide responsibilities as well as a high level of delegated authority to lead the Prep School. We are committed to finding the right person to join our community and help shape the future for our young people.
This is an exciting time to join us. There is a real appetite for what we offer and we are in a strong position to build on a decade of growth. The College Deputy Head (Prep) will play a key role in leading the next phase of our development, working closely with me to shape and deliver a compelling vision for the Prep School as part of our whole College Vision for 2030.
We are looking for someone who leads with humility, purpose, and a deep commitment to the flourishing of others. You will be a creative strategic thinker, in tune with the challenges presented across the independent school sector by the external environment and an understanding of the importance of clear market position, whilst nurturing the day-to-day life of a vibrant school community, with a keen eye for detail.
This role is ideal for a current middle or senior leader – whether in a standalone Primary/Prep School or in a through school like St Joseph’s – who is ready to take the next step. It will be particularly valuable for those aspiring to Headship in the future wanting to hone and develop their leadership skills. You will be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking team where your ideas, energy, knowledge and good humour will be both welcomed and required.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge and opportunity you are looking for, we warmly encourage you to apply.
