Millfield School is one of the UK's leading independent co-educational boarding and day schools, set across 200 acres of Somerset countryside in Street, near Glastonbury. Founded in 1935, Millfield has long been a pioneer in education: it was among the first independent schools in the country to be co-educational and the first to successfully support dyslexic students. Today, with over 1,300 students in the senior school and a further 440 at Millfield Prep, the school offers world-leading teaching and coaching in an environment of extraordinary breadth and ambition. Millfield is not like other schools; it never has been. Its purpose is to discover brilliance in every child and to transform lives through education.

They will possess excellent stakeholder management skills and have a strong understanding of operating across diverse cultural, political, and regulatory environments. They will reflect Millfield's values when representing the brand: be kind, be authentic, be disruptors, be curious, be brilliant.
This is a year-round, full-time role based in Street, Somerset, offering a competitive salary, commensurate with experience. The position is initially offered on a one-year fixed-term basis, with a review at the end of the contract period. Extensive international travel will be required.
