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. For an application pack

"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!
