Head of Human Resources
John Whitgift Foundation
Croydon, United Kingdom
John Whitgift Foundation has been serving Croydon since 1596. Today, we support people of all ages and backgrounds through outstanding independent education, care services, and charitable work.
As one of the largest bursary providers in the country, we support young people to access an outstanding education at Trinity School and Whitgift School. Through Whitgift Care, we provide a range of care settings and services, from residential care and sheltered housing to full-time person-centred care and respite care.
The charitable work of the Foundation – the majority of which is a significant bursary scheme to support pupils from lower-income families to attend our schools – is funded by the income from our investment and property portfolio.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
