Director of People – Christ the King Sixth Forms

Christ the King (CTK) is a highly successful and popular Catholic Sixth Form located on three sites in South East London. We specialise in meeting the needs of Sixth Form students and have an established track record of excellent examinations success. We have strong financial health and in 2023 we were graded as a ‘Good with Outstanding features’ by Ofsted.

As Director of People, you’ll shape a progressive People Strategy grounded in Catholic values, fostering a supportive and empowering workplace. You’ll lead recruitment, talent development, CPD and wellbeing initiatives, while embedding staff engagement and advising senior leaders on best HR practices.

As a champion of coaching, mentoring and leadership development, you’ll drive equity, diversity and inclusion across CTK. We seek an emotionally intelligent, values-driven leader with senior HR experience – ideally in education. Strategic insight, team leadership and strong communication skills are essential.

We have engaged FE Associates to support us in finding an outstanding individual to inspire excellent practice across our college. Contact our lead consultant, by emailing Claire.Gehlig@fea.co.uk, to discuss this exciting opportunity before the closing date.

Christ the King Sixth Forms is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of young people. An enhanced DBS check will be undertaken for the successful applicant along with appropriate child protection screening, as per safer recruitment guidelines.
