Our Education Governance Team is well-established and we pride ourselves on having excellent relationships with local schools and customers. The team has recently expanded to meet the high demand for our services, and this high-profile role will be expected to build upon this solid foundation to ensure that the Council continues to work in collaboration with all education settings and other key partners to improve our children and young people’s education and wellbeing outcomes.

The team has developed a successful and profitable traded offer, but there is ample opportunity for you to use your creativity and commercial acumen to strengthen our traded service to schools ensuring that our offer meets local needs and evolving national policy, is high quality and financially viable.
