Welcome to North Northamptonshire
Cornelia Andrecut Executive Director of Children’s Services
We’re looking for exceptional leaders: people who can inspire confidence, build trusted partnerships, and turn vision into action. You’ll bring strategic insight, emotional intelligence and a strong moral purpose. Someone who sees beyond the organisational boundaries to deliver real, lasting impact for our communities.
In return, you’ll join a passionate, forward-thinking directorate that values creativity, leads with compassion, supports flexible working, and believes deeply in shared leadership. You’ll be part of a place where your ideas are heard, your expertise is respected, and your work genuinely changes lives.
If you’re ready to lead with purpose, shape transformation and help create a brighter future for every child and family in North Northamptonshire, we’d love to hear from you.
Welcome
This is an exciting moment for us, and an even more exciting time to join North Northamptonshire Council. Across our Children’s Services, we are building something bold and ambitious: a system that puts children, young people and families at the heart of everything we do.
Our vision is simple, but powerful: every child deserves to be safe, to feel they belong, and to have the opportunity to thrive. To make that vision a reality, we’re investing in leadership, strengthening our partnerships, and reimagining the way we work across education, inclusion, family help and children’s social care.
The roles of Assistant Director - Education, SEND and Inclusion and Assistant Director of Family Services and Strategic Partnerships are pivotal to this mission. As key members of our senior leadership team, you will help drive a culture of innovation, collaboration and inclusion, working across systems and services to ensure that every child, every family and every school can access the support they need to succeed.
