Education Challenge Lead

5 months ago

Sturminster Newton, United Kingdom Dorset Council Full time

**About The Role**:
Working as part of a multi-disciplinary locality team, you will be responsible for the support and challenge of the schools and will benefit from the rich expertise of the team around you.

You will join the Education Challenge Leads Team, learning from one another and looking for creative ways to achieve the best outcomes for the children of Dorset.

**What you can expect to be doing**:
You will be responsible for a group of schools, supporting school leaders to cooperatively identify strengths and work with them on areas for improvement. You will look within and beyond the locality and Dorset for the best research-based practices that can be shared and learned from.

The role has a requirement for a high degree of specialist knowledge of the education landscape and the mechanisms required to facilitate collaboration across the system.

You will champion inclusive values and enable our children to have a sense of belonging, working with the team in the locality to achieve the best outcomes for all young people.

You will be part of the locality leadership team, bringing education expertise to the whole locality approach and taking the lead on identified workstreams. You will be supported to develop within One Team Dorset.

Now is a really exciting time to join an innovative local authority. Join us and be part of Children’s Services which have been judged as Good with Outstanding leadership by Ofsted.

We passionately believe that ‘working with’, not ‘doing to’, is the key to unlocking potential. We have high aspirations for our young people and aim to use our combined and collaborative strengths to support them and each other to be successful.

As a skilled communicator with excellent interpersonal skills, you will engage with credibility. The Dorset model in Children’s Services is based on restorative and strengths-based practice and you will be able to demonstrate your own experience of working in this way.

**About you**:
You will be a school senior leader who understands best practices in education and can demonstrate the ways in which you have used evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes for children.

You will have proven experience building effective relationships with more than one team, including with partner organisations.

**Further Information**:
This is an all year round post which has the advantage of flexible working patterns, with some remote and some face-to-face working.

This is a part time role at 30 hours per week.

This post requires significant travel. You must have a vehicle (or transport we deem suitable) available for use as needed.

See our policy on safeguarding children and young people.

This role is UK based and we will need to establish your Right to Work as part of the appointment process.

We use generic job descriptions and person specifications. This means the job title on any attachments may differ from the job title in the advert. We may provide specific information in a context statement if relevant.
