We are looking for an outstanding person to play the key role in giving our young people the best possible start in life.

This is Redcar and Cleveland. We are an ambitious council keen to build on our strong track record of innovation and partnership working, ensuring that we create a flourishing future for the borough and all of its residents. Key to this is a committed workforce who always gives their best. Offering a fast paced, progressive working environment, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is a great career move.

We have many reasons to be proud of our existing services for children, young people and their families in Redcar and Cleveland.

We have a passionate workforce who are committed to supporting children and young people to feel safe, healthy, happy and ready to learn and achieve. We respect everyone as equally valued members of our community by listening to their views and using their opinions to help shape our services.

Are you the right person to help us to develop a brighter future for our children?

If you share the ethos of Redcar and Cleveland’s Children and Families Directorate, this could be the opportunity you are looking for.

We are looking for an outstanding person to play the key role in giving our young people the best possible start in life.

As our Assistant Director – Education and Inclusion, you will be the lead advisor to the council on all education matters and will lead our relationships with schools across the borough. Our primary schools are consistently some of the best in the country and you will have a critical role in maintaining that excellence through children’s education by improving the outcomes in our secondary schools. You will find an environment which will encourage you to make a real difference.

We are a bold and ambitious council which always keeps communities at our heart, and a brighter future for our children is key to this.

Our track record of innovation and ambition for the future is enhanced by being a member of the Tees Valley Combined Authority, which uses its devolved powers to identify where government funding can best be used locally, and presents us with the opportunity to align educational provision with the key skills and qualifications that employers will need as progress on the country’s largest regeneration site, alongside the bank of the River Tees, takes off.

You will be a key member of a leadership team supported by a passionate workforce who are committed to supporting children and young people to feel safe, healthy, happy and ready to learn and achieve. We respect everyone as equally-valued members of our community by listening to their views and using their opinions to help shape our services.

On a personal note, Redcar and Cleveland offers a great quality of life – taking in beautiful coastline and part of the stunning North York Moors National Park – with attractive housing at a low cost.
