Deputy Head of Education

Lead education. Keep your evenings. You get all the leadership, teaching and curriculum writing you love about education, without the Sunday-night marking pile. Same passion for education. A very different Sunday. If you've worked in a school, you'll know the evenings and weekends that come with the job. Here's how this role compares: No out-of-hours marking. No more marking books at the kitchen table after the kids are in bed. Work stays at work. Your weekends are yours. Every one of them, with no Sunday afternoons lost to planning and paperwork. Book leave when it suits you. You get 25 days plus bank holidays, and you're not tied to school holidays and peak prices. Write the curriculum yourself. You won't be delivering someone else's curriculum. You'll shape it, including AI and new technology. Build something new. There's no waiting years for a leadership opening. You'll lead the growth of our new apprenticeship provision from the ground up. About us Tech Educators runs instructor-led tech courses that open up careers in tech to people from every background.
