Education Improvement Board (EIB) Strategic Lead

�59,018 18 Months Fixed term Secondments considered It�s no coincidence that Nottingham was recently named in the Guardian as one of the happiest places to work in the UK. It�s a great city to live and work for a great many reasons� We�ve got one of the best transport networks in the country with a recently extended tram system. We�re a top ten European city for foreign investment and one of the cleanest cities in Europe. We�re also currently both Visit England�s Home of Sport and Sport England�s City of Football. We�ve also been hailed by Rough Guides as a great city to visit in 2016 thanks to a burgeoning arts and music scene, a great shopping experience and fantastic food and drink venues. A great city deserves a great council which is what we strive to be. We have a vision to drive up standards in our schools through the Education Improvement Board � a strategic partnership made of representatives from schools, academies, councillors and our two universities. We�re looking for a leader who can develop and manage the detailed plans and provide oversight to members of the Education Improvement Board. This leader will be enthusiastic, passionate and visionary; someone who demands commitment and results but is able to lead and motivate people with respect and empathy. We�re seeking a high performer with credible track record in success. A background in the private or public sector � or both - is welcomed. We do things differently in Nottingham. We�re open to new ideas and keen to embrace new ways of thinking and doing. We particularly encourage applicants from the black and minority ethnic communities as they are currently under represented at senior levels in the organisation. This is a once in a generation opportunity to join a great team and contribute to a great city. Can you match our ambition for Nottingham? Do you have the drive and tenacity to lead and the creativity and expertise to deliver?
