Jobs

Plymouth is on the brink of something extraordinary. As one of the UK’s newly designated national defence growth areas, the city is seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape its economy, inspire its young people and ignite ambition across every community.

We’re determined to ensure that Plymouth’s future is not only prosperous, but shared; so that every child, in every community, can grow up with confidence, aspiration and the skills to succeed. These two roles will help build a city where every child can see a future for themselves, supported by a system which works seamlessly to spot difficulties early, responds quickly and effectively, and
makes sure help is there as long as it’s needed.

We also want to appoint a dynamic Service Director: Education, Participation & Skills to ensure we deliver world-class learning, alternative provision, SEND, skills and employability. Working closely with schools, colleges, training providers and industry leaders, you’ll ensure we build powerful, inclusive pathways that open doors for young people and are aligned with our growth sectors.

Candidates will bring extensive knowledge of system leadership, with a track record of leading and developing a successful education and learning function. You’ll demonstrate a comprehensive and highly strategic understanding of local government service provision, including all statutory and commercial aspects; and an uncompromising commitment to partnership working, continuous improvement and safeguarding is essential.

To arrange an informal conversation with our advising consultants at Faerfield, Dawn Faulkner, Rob Naylor or Zara Bruton, please call
