Employer: Hull City Council
Location : Kingston Upon Hull
Salary: Up to �123,000
Closing Date: 30/08/2010

As a key regional city and a major gateway to Europe and beyond, Kingston upon Hull is undergoing an exciting renaissance; and with a new Chief Executive (Nicola Yates) in post, the Council is also poised and ready for the next stage in its transformation. We have undergone massive change and a comprehensive improvement programme over the last few years, but we appreciate that there is more to do as we strive to offer our communities the best possible services. We are now looking for an exceptional person to play a leading part in our continued development as an organisation.

Our new Corporate Director of Children and Young People’s Services will be able to build on a strong set of foundations laid by Nigel Richardson, who is moving on to Leeds City Council. Huge steps have been made over recent years, with the council being judged to be the most improved authority in the country by the LGA. We are also amongst the fastest improving in children’s services and across a whole range of educational indicators.

Initiatives such as the ambitious Hull Challenge and our £450m Building Schools for the Future programme, which is one of the biggest remaining, shows that we are determined to achieve further success.

Relationships with heads and schools are very strong and businesses in Hull are on board to support our agenda, to the extent that every school has a business link.

We also have positive relationships with the health sector, which is a key part of keeping our children safe and healthy.

It is important to stress the political stability in the authority, with a majority administration which has been in power for six years.

Clearly, there is still a lot to do. Tackling deprivation and creating opportunities across the city is a key challenge for all our staff and stakeholders. Candidates will ideally have an understanding of working in an urban setting, as well as a strong track record of success in a relevant background, which could include health or local government. As importantly, we want to hear from candidates with passion, strong emotional intelligence and excellent people skills who are keen to make a difference within a new and very ambitious corporate team.

Closing Date: 27/09/2010

The respective roles of the Chair and Chief Executive of Ofqual are governed by the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (“the ASCL Act”). While the appointment of the new Chair and Chief Executive will also be made under the ASCL Act, Ministers intend to change the legislation that will apply to both roles in the future.

Under para 2(2) of Schedule 9 to the ASCL Act, the Chair of Ofqual has been known as the Chief Regulator of Qualifications and Examinations (“Chief Regulator”).” However, Ministers have recently conveyed their intention to legislate to make the role of Chief Regulator a full-time executive post. The role of Ofqual will be further strengthened by making the Chief Regulator a full time crown appointment with executive responsibility for the organisation.

In partnership with the Chair and Board, the Chief Executive’s role is to lead Ofqual as the authoritative independent national regulator of examination standards in England and ensure the efficient and effective performance of Ofqual’s statutory functions. The Chief Executive also leads the organisation to achieve its strategic objectives, represents Ofqual externally and leads the formation of links with stakeholders. Finally, the role is to act as Accounting Officer for Ofqual and to account properly for the funds available to it.

The successful candidate for CEO post will need to establish professional and personal credibility as a future Chief Regulator. He or she will need to be able to demonstrate either experience relevant to the demands of the role (whether in education or another area requiring transferable knowledge and skills), or the ability to acquire quickly the knowledge and expertise required to gain credibility in the role. He/she should also have experience of media handling and public speaking.
