Service Director: Education & Skills
It’s all happening in Doncaster.
On one hand, we’re one of the newest cities in the UK, with all of the excitement and ambition that brings; on the other, we’re a ‘place of places’, with historic communities, a shared sense of pride in our achievements, and huge potential. City of Doncaster Council is an ambitious Mayoral authority with a clear purpose to ensure that Doncaster and its people thrive, and that value for money is at the heart of everything we do. If you’re looking for a leadership role with genuine scope, where you can make a real difference from day one, there’s no doubt that Doncaster’s the place.
Our new Service Director for Education & Skills will oversee a dynamic, outcome-focused service which is already making a huge difference to our city. While 92% of our schools are rated ‘good’ or better, and recent outcomes data are very encouraging, we know there’s still more to do. Working with partners, you’ll drive an inclusive education system that delivers opportunities for all. With a rare combination of system insight and education leadership experience, you’ll bring a deep appreciation of how skills and education can help people and places flourish. Your impressive track record must be underpinned by clear personal values, as well as strong analytical and influencing skills.
