Head of & Skills

If you want to invest your skills in a place where you can make things happen, look no further than Gloucestershire. This is an opportunity to operate at scale, within a local economy where there is a real appetite to do more to create opportunities for our community and support growth. We’re looking for someone who can engage partners across education and industry at a strategic level to shape a cohesive and ambitious employment and skills strategy for the county.

You will provide leadership across Adult Education and our Employment & Skills Hub – ensuring a proactive and outward facing approach and building positive partnerships with employers and educators. Leadership and relationship skills will be key in maximising the impact of our work and consolidating shared goals and ambitions into a clearly articulated delivery plan, underpinned by clear accountability and a shared sense of purpose.

We are open minded about your professional background – it could be in Education, Training or Economic Development: but it’s important that you have an informed appreciation of the skills and education sector.
