The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham
Birmingham, UK
The mission of the King Edward VI Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. A progressive, influential educational charity, King Edward VI Foundation’s reputation is underpinned by a long and distinguished history. King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England. In the late 19th century, our five grammar schools and King Edward VI High School for Girls were an early step in extending secondary education for girls and boys.
The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive. And we believe that those schools need to be accessible to all, regardless of ethnic, religious and social background.

Full time
It is an exciting time to join us here at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. Digital technology is helping to change the way that we care for patients and the Digital Team is at the forefront of those changes, delivering our digital roadmap to support our clinical strategy.
This is an exciting and challenging role that will play a key part in making a real digital difference to our Clinical and operational colleagues as well as our patients and wider Hertfordshire community.
In this high profile role, you will have accountability for the successful development and delivery of the Trust 's digital programme, with overall responsibility for managing the digital portfolio and the successful delivery of all supporting workstreams. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation to support this delivery and adoption of digital transformation.
In addition to digital programme delivery, you will also have responsibility for managing the financial resources and contracts relating to your portfolio, as well as leading and inspiring your team and others around you.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals: • The Lister Hospital, Stevenage • New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City • Hertford County, Hertford • Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
