Play a key role in improving the quality of education in Kent.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead, commission, and secure the provision of high quality early years and school education across a diverse range of schools for children and young people. You will lead on the development of new schools, in particular the Academies Programme. Your remit will also include SEN and the fair access agenda.

Committed to driving forward improvements in parental choice, you will bring considerable experience of working strategically with schools, academies, and other education providers. Resilient, adaptable, and articulate with strong influencing skills, you will be committed to transforming education for the children and young people of Kent.

Raising attainment in education and improving the life chances of vulnerable children and young people are of paramount importance to Kent County Council, the largest local authority in England. We have recently appointed a new Corporate Director of Education Learning and Skills so this is your chance to secure a brilliant future for yourself.
