I couldn't find any screws at all on this tap.
How can I remove the head to replace the washer?

if you just need to replace the washers can you
- turn off the water
- open the tap fully
- unscrew the cover flange at the bottom of the tap
- fit a pair of mutigrips under the flange and undo the spindle from the breach
hence replacing the washers? Once you have the spindle out you will find it easier to get at the anti-vandle screw and undo it
As discussed in answers and comments, channel pliers or locking pliers can be used to remove the screwed down cap that hold in the stem (the grooved top of which you show). As indicated, tape or a cloth may reduce the chance of damaging the finish. A wide, thick rubber band is also useful in gripping under pliers to avoid scratches.
An alternative is a strap wrench.
It can be used for this purpose and also to turn or hold pipes.

It looks like to me that you need to tap the inner ring indicated with screwdriver and hammer.
