Astrum Education operates two schools in central London: Kensington Park School, a new independent school for boys and girls aged 11 to 18; and Chelsea Independent College, for pupils aged 14 to 19 who come from more than 30 countries.

Our schools’ teaching teams are among the strongest in the capital; teachers are highly experienced and many have taught and held senior positions in some of the country’s top independent schools.

Our wider staff body is responsible for integrating pastoral care, sport, music and performing arts into the curriculum in order to provide a fully-rounded education for each pupil.

With our wonderful central London locations, staff and pupils make full use of the world-leading cultural, sporting and academic institutions that are on our doorstep.

The successful candidate will be educated to a degree level or equivalent, have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, experience in compliance function and working knowledge and understanding of data protection principles and health and safety legislation. You must be able to explain complex ideas in layman’s terms. Your attention to detail, efficiency, accuracy and the ability to prioritise your workload is essential. Experience or knowledge of the independent school sector is desirable.
