Detail

We are seeking an exceptional and dynamic strategic leader to become our Director of Futures to design, lead, and deliver a whole-school Futures education programme that empowers pupils to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape. This is a pivotal role at the heart of LEH’s mission, preparing every pupil to take their place at the table with confidence, purpose, and curiosity.

The Director of Futures will drive an ambitious, forward-thinking strategy that includes higher education guidance, careers education, entrepreneurship, and the development of future-ready skills. You will lead a skilled team, work collaboratively across all departments, and champion an inclusive, aspirational culture where pupils can explore who they are and how they will have impact, success and fulfilment in the years that follow.

What we offer:

• LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site on the southwest of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama.
• We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library services.
• A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found here.

How to apply:

An application pack is available from the School’s website by clicking here. Applications must be made on the School’s own form, CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted.

The closing date is noon on Monday, 1 December 2025.

Interviews will take place on Monday, 8 December 2025.

Safeguarding Statement:

All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
