To say that last week was one of the most challenging of my career would not do it justice!
It culminated in a two day interview process for the position of Executive Director of Education and Children’s Services – the post I’ve been acting up into for the last 20 months. The process was supported by SOLACE enterprises who conducted themselves in an exceptionally professional manner throughout.
I found the process to be exhaustive, rigorous, well-balanced and demanding. I was hugely impressed by my fellow candidates and was delighted and relieved when I was offered the post.
My most sincere thanks to all colleagues who have patiently supported me over this time. It’s a real privilege to work with you.
Congratulations! on your new post. Wishing you much success.
Well done and well deserved- I point colleagues to your blog regularly as a sane measured voice of Education Departments in Scotland – and you are so clearly leading from the front.
Cheers Joe.
