**Salary**:
Great opportunities, Housing provided, Medical Insurance and annual flights, extra annual gratuity and retention bonus.

**Job type**:
Full Time, Fixed Term

**Start date**:
7 November 2024

**Job overview**:
The new Deputy Head Pastoral (Secondary) will work with the Secondary SLT and will be responsible for Behaviour, the Heads of Year, House system, Secondary Safeguarding and Absences and will work with the Deputy Heads Safeguarding, Wellbeing and Enrichment and inclusion for developing our girls.

This is a non-teaching position, but a small amount of teaching may be required if necessary.

Since opening in 2019, Durham School for Girls Doha has established itself as a vital addition to the Qatar school landscape and as the school of choice for girls in Qatar. Founded in partnership with Durham School in the UK and guided by the Durham motto of ‘Confidence for Life’, DSGD aims to be a caring, supportive community that can unlock and fulfil each student’s full potential. An emphasis on Qatari culture and values is supported by a strong British Curriculum offer and shaped by Durham School’s 600 years of tradition and its MARK values (Moral Integrity, Ambition, Responsibility, Kindness) - values that resonate with Qatar’s national values.

DSGD’s first four years exceeded expectations in terms of numbers - which now stand at 1,200 - and the school has helped to redefine girls’ education in a way that supports The Qatar National Vision 2030 and its emphasis on empowering women to participate fully in the political, economic and social life of the country. DSGD seeks to build the emotional, moral and spiritual strength that will be essential to future leadership. The school is QNSA and BSO-accredited and was the first all-girls international school to become a High-Performance Learning World Class School.

These remarkable achievements have required a fine balance between the needs of Qatar, an emphasis on local culture, traditions and beliefs, outstanding British curriculum delivery, a genuinely holistic approach, and close attention to the girls’ academic and pastoral development. The challenge now is to consolidate this success, to sharpen and embed the school’s identity and ambitions, and to understand what this means for DSGD’s next stage of development.

To meet the challenge of steering the school into this next, exciting period, a new Deputy Head Pastoral will become increasingly important, not only in leading their respective divisions but in providing cross-school operational and strategic leadership.

Interviews will be ongoing.
