Anyone Looking for a Job?

The advert for a post of education officer (QIO scale) has just been put on the Renfrewshire website. The post covers quality assurance for a cluster of schools along with the remit of science and technology. What the advert doesn't say (and this will need to be fixed) is the post is a secondment until Christmas 2009 in the first instance. We have struggled to find anyone for this post so I thought it might be worth noting a little more widely. This was my post at one time and covers all the ICT stuff in the curriculum, including GLOW. The post requires a high degree of self motivation and willingness to embrace working in a local authority so political awareness and a strategic understanding of what can and can't be done is vital.

I enjoyed doing the QIO job. I can understand why there is little appetite for this sort of work but there must be someone out there who is interested.
