The Opportunity
Downe House Riyadh opened in September 2022 and is the first British private
all-girls ' school for 3-18 year olds to establish in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia. The opening of a new school is always an incredibly exciting time.
Downe House Riyadh provides a world class curriculum in partnership with an
authentic girls-only private school from the UK. With over a century of
experience, Downe House is one of the UK's most celebrated all-girls' schools.
It consistently ranks amongst the country's top five schools of its kind.
This is an exceptional and rare opportunity for someone who has the qualities,
skills and experience to be the Head of Human Resources of Downe House Riyadh
in its founding year. The successful candidate will work closely with the Head
of School providing professional skills and technical capabilities with
specialist's subject knowledge in employment legislation to ensure the
effective operations of Human Resources at Downe House Riyadh.
The School
Located towards the north of Riyadh in the prominent neighbourhood of Aqeeq,
Downe House Riyadh will offer a British curriculum based on the tradition and
expertise of Downe House UK. The curriculum will be sensitively adapted for
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ensuring girls will excel in Arabic language and
Islamic Studies, alongside other subjects. Downe House Riyadh has accepted
admissions from Pre-School to Year 11 (ages 3 to 15) for the 2022 - 2023
Academic Year.
The Person
The successful applicant will be a key public face of the School. The Head of
HR will provide an efficient and responsive strategic, administrative and
organisational HR service to the school. This will be achieved by helping the
Principal to lead 'people management' by providing professional skills and
technical capabilities, specialist subject knowledge (including employment
legislation), integrity in decision making and operational activity that is
required for the effective operations of Human Resources at Downe House
Riyadh.
We hope this post will attract an experienced professional from the education
sector. Alternatively, the role might suit an exceptional individual with
wider educational or HR experience gained outside the sector but who has an
instinctive feel for the school's stakeholders and their needs, bringing with
them the relevant skills to undertake this complex and exciting job.
An understanding of, and empathy with, the School's ethos is essential.
