Director of Faculty

Required from: 24th August 2026 

Permanent

Full time

The post will be remunerated on the Godalming College Single Leadership Spine, range L13-L15, currently £65,174 to £67,365 (including Fringe Allowance of £1,341) per annum plus a R3 allowance (£2,474 per year) to recognise an additional cross college leadership responsibility attached to the role.    

The College is eager to appoint a suitably qualified and innovative Director of Faculty to lead and manage a group of subject departments ensuring the highest quality of provision, progression and outcomes for all its students.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a popular and successful College, which has a very strong reputation for the high quality of its provision for its students as well as a strong culture of learning.  The post has arisen due to the decision of the existing, long standing and highly successful current postholder to stand down from their role at the end of this current academic year. The Directors of Faculty are part of the Upper Management Team at the College and play a significant role in supporting the College in ensuring the best possible outcomes and learning experience for its students.

The College Faculty structure is such that subjects in each Faculty are derived from a mixed range of disciplines, not grouped in similar subjects.  The Director of Faculty would be managing the following subjects:  History and Politics, Geography, Sociology, Philosophy, Maths, Law and Physics, Computing  and IT. We believe this approach brings a multi-disciplinary focus, and ensures the best means to develop a wide range of ideas and sharing of best practice for the benefit of all students and staff.  Each Director of Faculty also has a cross-college area of responsibility.  The post is assigned the College Vocational Lead responsibility.
