Senior Inspector

The Ministry of Education, Employment and Gender Affairs is seeking a Senior Inspector for the Cayman Islands Education Quality Assurance Unit

School Inspections in the Cayman Islands.

Joining the Education Quality Assurance Unit at this time presents a unique and challenging opportunity as these two new posts would play a key role not only in contributing to the re-establishment of a system of inspections, and thus contributing to school improvement, but in influencing policy making within the Ministry of Education through findings from inspections and the subsequent recommendations

Inspections have traditionally been based on the OFSTED model with modifications to suit the different culture of the Cayman Islands. The Education Quality Assurance Unit has responsibility for evaluating all educational provision in the Cayman Islands. Government schools in the Cayman Islands, and some of the private schools, follow a British based curriculum, with a large number of our children sitting British or Caribbean external examinations at the end of high school.

• Successful leadership experience working within a local authority or similar cross-school role
• You are highly analytical with excellent ICT, communication and inter-personal skills

And most importantly, you are a true servant-leader, committed to having a positive impact on improving education standards for students across the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands offers one of the highest standards of living in the Caribbean.  It is a tax-free jurisdiction, with a friendly welcoming people, combining the best of the relaxed Caribbean attitude and modern living.
