Head of Psychology

Charterhouse, Surrey

Start: September 2026

Charterhouse invites applications for the post of Head of Psychology, an exciting opportunity to lead a flourishing and rapidly growing subject within one of the country's leading co-educational boarding schools.

Psychology at Charterhouse is an intellectually vibrant discipline with strong and increasing uptake at Sixth Form. The successful candidate will provide academic leadership across A Level Psychology and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, guiding the department through its next phase of development with ambition, rigour and creativity.

This role will suit an experienced and reflective practitioner with a deep enthusiasm for Psychology, strong subject expertise, and the ability to stretch and inspire pupils across the attainment range. A key priority will be the refinement and development of coherent, challenging Schemes of Work, alongside the use of assessment data to enhance pupil outcomes. The Head of Psychology will also play a significant role in supporting pupils aspiring to study Psychology or related disciplines at highly competitive universities, including Oxbridge.

The successful applicant will be expected to contribute fully to the wider life of the School, including enrichment activities such as societies, lectures, visits and co-curricular provision. Collaboration with colleagues across departments-particularly in the sciences-forms an important and rewarding aspect of the role.

Charterhouse is a boarding and day school set on a stunning 250-acre campus in Surrey, offering both A Levels and the IB Diploma Programme.
