Administrative Searches: Leadership Vacancies for Senior Management Candidates
School Boards employ individual members of the Search Associates team to help them conduct worldwide searches for Senior Managers for their schools. These vacancies for School Superintendents, Heads, Deputy Heads, Principals, Directors and other senior posts in schools are open to all qualified applicants - no prior registration with Search Associates (via any of its branches) is necessary.

Leadership Section: Search London-January
The London-January Search Fair for IB schools and candidates, and for a select number of British Curriculum international schools and candidates, contains an integral Leadership Section, at which schools seeking key personnel can interview a range of suitably experienced candidates. This is occasionally an appropriate forum for Head of School appointments to be made, but does not normally replace a Head Search. It targets mainly middle management vacancies: IB PYP, MYP and Diploma Coordinators; Grade Level Leaders / Section Heads; Counselors; and Year Heads, with a particular focus on educational leadership in IB schools.
Participation in the Leadership Section of the London-January recruitment fair is likely to be an initial step in the selection process. It is unusual that an offer of a leadership position is made solely on the basis of interviews carried out at the Fair, as schools often require further selection procedures, sometimes taking place at the school itself, before a decision to appoint is made.
