The British School of Bucharest is seeking an enthusiastic and committed Director of Key Stage Two to join our successful team from August 2025.

We offer a dynamic teaching and learning environment for over 650 students from more than 55 different countries. The school is well established and is situated in a stunning campus with well-resourced facilities and an experienced teaching team.

The Director of KS2 would be a suitably qualified teacher with some previous leadership experience, whether in the UK or internationally, and who may move on to Headship in the future. With our comprehensive professional development, mentoring and coaching programmes in place and supported by an experienced team, this role would be suitable for a candidate seeking a senior leadership role for the first time.

The successful applicant will take the lead on further developing the legacy of a culture of academic achievement and quality assurance and will play a key role in supporting students in their studies across all ability ranges and across KS2, working closely with parents.

The Director of KS2 will report to the Head of Primary but will be a key member of the whole-school Senior Leadership Team and will also play a developmental role in helping to develop the school’s future strategy, as well as working closely with other departments within the school.
