Deputy Director: Education & Learning

EXCITING … GROWING … YOUTHFUL … BRADFORD.

Bradford is one of the most varied and exciting cities in the UK, and a major regional centre for culture, leisure and enterprise. We’re committed to developing the council’s capacity and resources to serve our communities to the best of our potential. Our Deputy Director, Education & Learning has a vital role to play in building our new Bradford.

With the youngest population in the UK, we know our young people can be the catalyst and engine for future success. You will work with all partners across the education system to improve outcomes, harnessing and unleashing the pride, energy and ambitions of our young people and their families.

Bradford is a complex education environment. We’re successfully addressing our challenges and were recently assessed as having the fourth most improved schools’ performance in the country. We focus on outcomes, have established positive partnerships and are embracing innovative approaches to accelerate success.

You’ll be immersed in improving education, learning and attainment and will bring a commitment to working with partners across the system wherever you can make a positive difference. You’ll have experience of succeeding in similarly complex systems at a senior level, working in the spotlight with a constantly evolving population, multiple partners and a ‘will-do’ culture. We’re looking for someone with deep knowledge across the education system, who can build on our significant improvements, so that our young people are better connected, confident and equipped to thrive in a changing world.
