**Job overview**
**Appointment of Deputy Head (Pastoral)**
An outstanding individual is sought to be Deputy Head (Pastoral) at one of the UK’s leading boys’ schools.
The Deputy Head (Pastoral) will report to the Headmaster and take their place amongst the Executive Team.
Key responsibilities also include promoting a culture which prioritises safeguarding - with particular responsibility for any aspect of safeguarding practices which pertain to the leadership of proactive pastoral care and setting a strong personal example.
In addition, the Deputy Head (Pastoral) will lead the strategic and operational development of a proactive approach to relational pastoral care at Whitgift School, ensuring that each and every individual is supported and challenged to flourish and to maximise their personal development.
Whitgift is a leading independent day and boarding school for boys, with approximately 1500 students including over one hundred full and flexi boarders. It is set in an attractive 48-acre parkland site in South Croydon enjoying excellent links to London, Surrey and the south coast.
Firmly committed to holistic endeavour, Whitgift enjoys an unparalleled reputation for delivering a genuine combination of academic excellence and all-round achievement. The co-curricular programme - which provides every one of its students with an exceptional range of clubs and societies across academic departments and beyond - was recognised by ISI in our recent inspection as a “significant strength”. We believe in breadth and depth of opportunity, high aspiration, and a “can-do” and engaged attitude: key ingredients for preparing the young people in our care brilliantly for the rest of their lives.
Whitgift is proud to be an inclusive equal opportunity employer. Whitgift employs and welcomes all applicants regardless of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics. Whitgift actively looks to increase its staff diversity in all appointments.
**_ Whitgift School (part of the John Whitgift Foundation) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers, the Disclosure & Barring Service and online media checks (including personal, professional and other online activities)._**
**_ All roles within the school involve contact with children and are therefore classed as regulated activity. Child protection and safeguarding are the responsibility of everyone who works or volunteers in our school. All staff must be committed to providing a safe environment for children and supporting the school’s safeguarding ethos._**
For more than 400 years, Whitgift has been transforming boys’ lives through education.
Whitgift 2025 was created as a result of the input and imagination of staff and students and the next few years will represent an exciting time of evolution for the school, both in terms of our site development plan and the educational partnerships we are embarking on.
