Head of Centre

LSC Education is recruiting a secondary Head for The Cheltenham Centre, the International section of Junwha International School, located in Jinhua in eastern China. The Cheltenham Centre, which is operated and led by Cheltenham College in the UK, caters specifically for students who intend to apply to universities overseas. Students, aged 13-18, are able to study towards IGCSEs and A Levels.

Reporting to the Executive Director of the school, and closely supported by Cheltenham College, the UK independent school partner, the post holder will oversee the leadership of the international section, bringing the ethos and culture of the school to life for the teachers and pupils, and personifying the sense of community, personal responsibility and academic excellence which embodies the core of the school's ethos.

The Head of Centre will be responsible, alongside the Executive Director and the management committee, for the management of around 45 staff and for the education of up to 200 pupils aged 13 to 18. 

The ideal candidate will fully understand the importance and advantages of studying within a blended culture and the rich diversity of experience and understanding that this can bring to pupils’ academic and personal educational outcomes. To do this, the post holder will have highly developed emotional intelligence skills and a calm and considered approach.

To apply for this post, you will need strong experience with the English national curriculum, a track record of exceptional teaching at senior-school level, including effective classroom management and, ideally, experience of teaching and pastoral care in UK independent schools.
