Birmingham

Salary: Competitive to attract the best

The Vision for the Archdiocese of Birmingham reminds us that “we are called to be a Catholic diocese which is: faithful to the mission entrusted to us by Jesus Christ, full of missionary disciples who work together co-responsibly in vibrant communities of faith, joyful in their service of God and neighbour.”

As the national education landscape evolves, our Diocesan Education Service (DES) will also need to change to ensure it is fit for the future. As a result, DES are looking to recruit a Director of Education Services who will be responsible for this transformation; building on the strengths and experience of the DES whilst working in collaboration with the Directors, Governors, MAC and School Leaders to ensure the fulfilment of our mission and vision.

The Archdiocese of Birmingham is geographically the largest Diocese in England and has 237 schools within its boundaries. This is just over 11% of the 2122 Catholic schools in England, with 198 primary schools, 35 secondary, three first schools and one middle school. There are over 86,000 pupils across the 237 schools.

The Director of Education will be responsible to the Trust Board and will:

• Promote and implement the Archbishop’s vision for Catholic Education in the diocese.
• Build capacity, trust, and strong relationships within the archdiocesan family of schools; encouraging collaboration to develop and sustain school improvement and raise aspirations.
• Confidently and enthusiastically articulate the role of Catholic education in the mission of the Church and be an effective witness to it.

The person we are looking for will thrive on change and have the energy and communication skills necessary to transform structures and reimagine the relationship between all stakeholders. The new Director will be a faithful practising Catholic with a clear insight and commitment to Catholic education. They will bring key skills to help unfold our vision into the reality of our schools. This is an exciting time to join us and a wonderful opportunity at a time of change and renewal in the Archdiocese.
