Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is the biggest single government investment in improving school buildings for over 50 years. In this high profile role, your challenge will be to drive the success of this project and gain recognition for helping to influence economic regeneration across Stoke on Trent.

Joining one of the most progressive city councils in England, you'll manage a budget of around £200million and lead a 13 strong project team. Focussed on rebuilding or modernising our secondary and special schools, you'll develop a more strategic approach to the funding, design and procurement of buildings and ensure the provision of state-of-the-art 21st century education.

Aiming to improve the life chances of all young people, you'll provide the strategic direction necessary to transform learning and ensure that all schools are fit for purpose. An experienced project manager, you'll have evidence of successful large scale capital development projects, ideally gained in an education context. If you are as forward looking and ambitious as we are, this is your chance to build bright futures for all.

Oh, please. Pull the other one.

"Joining one of the most progressive city councils in England" - ??. Stoke City Council progressive? So progressive that they forget to properly consult their electorate over school reorganisation. Is this the new £75k per annum Spin Doctor speaking?

"Positive about disabled people" - so positive that in the glossy green brochure "transforming schools", on the page "our vision", the council puts a picture of a girl in an adult's wheelchair. Not very clever. But then, on the same page, the same girl is pictured standing behind two other pupils. This implies that Stoke's wheelchair-bound children are not photogenic enough for Serco. Total insult!
