Join us as we build the future of Children's and Education Services

At Nottingham City Council, Children's and Education Services are on a clear journey of improvement, reform and transformation.

Over the last few years, we have been strengthening practice, redesigning services and building a more joined-up system around infants, children, young people and families. This has included changes across early help, social care, education, SEND, youth justice and partnership safeguarding, all focused on improving outcomes and making support more timely, consistent and child centred.

We know there is still more to do We are not complacent about the challenges ahead, but we are building strong foundations for the future: clearer leadership, better joined-up working, stronger relationships and a shared commitment to learning and improvement.

Our vision is to create a city where every infant, child and young person is seen, heard and supported to thrive. That means services working around people's lives, support being timely and tailored, and every child being surrounded by a team that puts their unique needs first.

We are looking for people who want to be part of that journey.

People who care about children and families, who are open to learning, who can work well with others, and who want to help shape the next chapter for Children's Services in Nottingham.

Building the Future of Children's Services

As part of our transformation programme, we are investing in leadership, practice and innovation across Children's and Education Services.
We are creating new opportunities at every level, bringing together talented people who share our ambition to improve outcomes for children, young people and families.

We are now seeking visionary senior leaders to help shape the next phase of Nottingham's improvement journey. These Director opportunities will play a key role in driving transformation, strengthening partnership working and ensuring children, young people and families receive the support they need to thrive.
