Head of Education and Skills

As one of the biggest councils in the country, with a proud tradition of delivering services and stable leadership, Durham County Council is facing the future with confidence. In its first 10 years as a unitary authority we have achieved a great deal. We have achieved our success through strong leadership, ambition, creative thinking, partnership working and sheer passion for what we do. This is an exciting time to be joining the Council.

The post of Head of Education and Skills is vital for us, and will help shape the way we service and support children and young people. Moving forward, we need to forge a new partnership approach with our schools and academies, improve access to learning, and ensure that we work closely with health and other partners to enable better outcomes. To help us succeed, we are looking for candidates with strong and relevant experience in an education setting who can bring about change via fresh ideas and determination.

I hope you are interested in this opportunity to join our team and if you are excited by the prospect of working for us, we would be delighted to hear from you.
