• In recognising the majority of the work streams associated with the post will be within the education sector, certain aspects will have a wider brief across Children & Family Services. This will include, for example, leading on capital projects which are required by Directors of Social Care and Prevention.
Working closely with school, partners and wider Children & Families Services, the post will develop effective systems and mechanisms to ensure that children and young people receive high quality educational provision from the start and remain in such provision for the duration of their statutory education.

Principal Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• To strategically lead for the Council on its duty to champion for children and young people and their parents and local communities to ensure a high standard of education, reporting concerns to the Regional Schools Commissioner where necessary.

• To lead the implementation and development of a strategy to improve education outcomes for all children working with the family of schools to ensure effective school led support.
• To strategically lead on the development of the family of schools approach facilitating the development of an infrastructure which maintains a focus on outcomes for local children and young people as the sector transforms.

• To lead the implementation and development of services that support outstanding governance in schools.
• To lead the implementation and development of a high quality school meals service that demonstrates value for money.
• To lead the strategic business processes to bid for, secure and commission wider Children & Families projects leading to improved provision for children and young people.
• Promote effective and accurate pupil forecasting methodologies which utilise all available to predict pupil trends and numbers across all localities and, where appropriate, lead on any reorganisation of education provision through the potential relocation, closure or change of use of current education provision.
• To liaise and network with other authorities so as to ensure that best practice is always adopted. This will require representation at local, regional and national events to ensure the priorities of the Council are fully reflected.
• To lead on the establishment of systematic reporting processes which provide, as required, regular reports and synopsis on key work streams to Senior Management, relevant Council forums and other internal/external bodies as required.
• To ensure consistently high levels of customer satisfaction, including contributing to an effective framework to capture measure and report on this on a regular basis.
• To create, foster and maintain a safe and healthy working environment, which encourages commerciality, creative thinking, innovative practice and acceptable well managed risk taking by all staff, and which seeks actively to provide added ‘public value’ from limited resources.
• To design, document, implement and maintain service structures, methods of delivery, operating procedures and ‘rules of engagement’ which define the required behaviours and best practice of frontline staff, and to ensure that agreed standards are met consistently in meeting the needs of local people.
• To ensure that services/functions are delivered within and to budget, and to set and
manage appropriate financial and other controls, which enable decisions to be made directly and quickly at the frontline (within agreed delegated authority).
• To manage all aspects of the team and individual staff performances, including use of resources against agreed shared and personal targets.
• To work closely with Elected Members at a local level, to support them in undertaking their leadership role effectively and confidently.
