  • Software Proficiency: Strong ICT skills, specifically with school management systems like SIMS, Bromcom, or Arbor.

  • Local Knowledge: An understanding of the unique challenges facing families in Central London is a distinct advantage.

Why Westminster?

  • Central Location: Work in the heart of London with unparalleled transport links (Victoria, Bakerloo, and Jubilee lines).

  • Prestigious Environment: Join a school community that benefits from the unique resources and partnerships available in the capital.

  • Career Growth: Westminster schools are known for their high standards and excellent professional development opportunities.

  • Impactful Work: Make a tangible difference in a borough where education is the primary driver of social mobility.
