Job description

It’s all happening in Doncaster.

On one hand, we’re one of the newest cities in the UK, with all of the excitement and ambition that brings; on the other, we’re a ‘place of places’, with historic communities, a shared sense of pride in our achievements, and huge potential.

With a rare combination of system insight and education leadership experience, you’ll bring a deep appreciation of how skills and education can help people and places flourish. Your impressive track record must be underpinned by clear personal values, as well as strong analytical and influencing skills.
