We are a values-based organisation, with a strong culture of inclusion and empowerment. As the strategic professional lead for children and young people’s education and learning you will be passionate about securing improved educational standards. Our schools are diverse in nature but have a common purpose and commitment to providing the best possible education environments and life chances to enable our children and young people to flourish and achieve.

You will ensure that the Council’s statutory education duties in relation to early years, schools, school improvement, schools funding, support for vulnerable young people and young people’s wider well-being are not only being effectively met, but also offer the chance for children and younger people’s voices to be heard.

The majority of our children feel safe and supported, giving them the best life chances. However, we know this is not the case for everyone nor for every child, this is where you come in; to further our ambition for all residents across the city.
