Headteacher jobs in the UK: the facts

SchoolJobs.uk is showing 52 live headteacher vacancies across the UK. Every listing has its own permanent page, names who is recruiting where the source evidence supports it, and links straight to the employer's own application route.

How many headteacher jobs are listed in the UK?
SchoolJobs.uk currently lists 52 live headteacher vacancies in the UK. The number changes as schools publish new vacancies and closing dates pass.
Who is advertising these jobs?
Each listing states who is recruiting, based only on stored source evidence: directly from a school, through an academy trust or local authority, or through a recruitment agency. Where the evidence does not identify the employer, the listing says “Employer not confirmed” instead of guessing.
Where does SchoolJobs.uk get these vacancies?
Vacancies come from the Department for Education's Teaching Vacancies service, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0, and from licensed job feeds. Every listing links back to the advert it came from.
Is it free to apply?
Yes — applying is always free for candidates. Most vacancies are applied for here on SchoolJobs.uk. Where a vacancy can only be applied for through the employer's own system, the listing says so and links you to the original advert. SchoolJobs.uk never charges candidates.
How is salary shown?
Salary is shown exactly as the employer published it, including the pay period and any pro-rata wording. Where no figure was published the listing says so, and any estimated figure is labelled as an estimate rather than presented as the employer's offer.
