EDI Lead
(Term Time, INSED plus 1 week)
Required as soon as possible from January 2026
We are a school that values diversity and individual contribution; supporting and encouraging staff to pursue their interests and achieve their ambitions. Reporting to the Head of Marcomms, the Communications Lead will be responsible for assisting the implementation of the School’s communications strategies and public relations activities, both internal and external.
This is an exciting opportunity to join us in a newly created role where you will champion and embed a vibrant and inclusive EDI culture across Latymer Upper School, ensuring that every member of our community feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. As our EDI Lead you will help drive strategic initiatives, foster open dialogue, and cultivate an environment where diversity is celebrated and equity is actively pursued, enriching the educational experience of the entire School Community.
Diversity – The School is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We have an established and representative staff Equality and Diversity Board to help drive forward positive change. A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population.
We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.
This is a term time role working all School term time plus published INSED days and a further week in the School holidays (36 weeks).
