Head of Secondary

Are you an experienced school leader, looking for a new challenge in a small and growing school? We are looking for an outstanding Head of Secondary to join our team. We are a through school for ages 3 to 18, following the English National Curriculum, IGCSE and IBDP curricula, with the Italian Ministerial programme available in parallel for native Italian speakers. Southlands students are fantastic: diverse, kind and good humoured, they are a daily source of inspiration. In academic terms, they achieve strong examination results, excel in languages and access their first choice universities. Our teachers come from all around the world, and are united in a common dedication to supporting their students’ success and happiness. 

If you love learning and strive to inspire that same passion in others: staff and students alike, and at the same time, you understand and can model the necessity of dedicated time, concentration and hard work in achieving and exceeding goals, then this could be a great role for you. You will have an instinctive and professional awareness of what makes a great school tick, and, working within a supportive and dynamic leadership time, will have autonomy and agency to grow the school and take it to the next level in its evolution. 

As part of the Globeducate network of schools, our students and teachers benefit from being part of a worldwide family with a shared belief in the pivotal role of education in building a better future. 

Southlands British International School is located forty minutes south of the historic centre of Rome, and just 10 minutes from the sea at Ostia. We are located on a semi rural campus and enjoy plenty of open spaces where we can take learning outside the classroom and enjoy the famous Roman sunshine! 

If this sounds like the right place for you, then we'd love to hear from you.  

Please apply via TES

Closing date for applications: Friday January 28th, 4 pm CET
