Diocesan Director of Education

With 127 schools and academies ser ving 20,000 children across our rural heartland, our coast and our large post-industrial cities, the Diocese of York has provided an excellent education for generations of children. Its secret is adapting to changes in education without changing its values. This is an exciting time to join the Diocese and develop the strategic leadership of our newly expanded Education Team.

We are looking for a dynamic individual with a personal commitment to and understanding of the Church of England's mission to:

• Be a passionate and well informed advocate for the church's engagement in education at the core of the wider mission of the Diocese
• Embrace the challenges of the changing educational landscape to lead the strategic and creative development of our family of church schools and academy trusts
• Provide appropriate advice, challenge and support to ensure that all of our schools and academies maintain the highest standards of achievement for all pupils
