Job Description
We are partnering with a prestigious, future-thinking independent school to appoint a Director of Employability & Entrepreneurship. This is a newly created, strategic leadership role designed for a high-calibre professional who can bridge the gap between elite education and the rapidly evolving global economy.

You will empower pupils to not only navigate the next stage of their education but to thrive as innovators in the world of work. Located in the heart of Cambridge, this historic co-educational day school balances a 400-year legacy with state-of-the-art innovation. The setting is academic and ambitious, yet deeply committed to holistic pastoral care. With world-class facilities - including a brand-new performing arts centre and elite sports complex - the school provides an industrious and fun environment where staff are valued as the institution's greatest asset.
