Shape the future of assurance in a modern, ambitious Internal Audit team

Are you an experienced audit professional looking for more than a traditional audit role?

At Derbyshire County Council, Internal Audit is evolving. We are investing in data-driven assurance, continuous auditing, digital innovation and modern audit methodologies to help the organisation navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. As a Principal Auditor, you will play a key role in shaping that journey.

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing and ambitious team that is committed to continuous improvement, embraces innovation and is actively transforming the way assurance is delivered.

About the role

As a Principal Auditor, you will lead complex and high-profile audit reviews across a diverse range of services while helping to develop and support the next generation of auditors.

You will work closely with senior managers, directors and strategic leaders across the Council, providing independent assurance, challenge and advice that helps improve governance, strengthen controls and support better decision-making.

What we're looking for

You'll bring:

Significant Internal Audit experience, ideally within a large and complex organisation.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY USING THE DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL WEBSITE, PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW.

The Regulation Unit is looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and experienced person with a background in Pollution Control to manage our dedicated Pollution Control Team. Does that sound like you?

Amber Valley has a mix of communities in and around our four major towns and numerous villages, each with their individual challenges. Significant areas of the borough are rural with the Derbyshire Dales to the north and the two cities of Derby and Nottingham within easy reach. So, if you like variety you’ll enjoy working at Amber Valley.

Like the borough, our pollution control workload is varied and involves working with a range of individuals and businesses to deliver the best possible outcomes for our residents and communities. We have a small, dedicated team who work independently and with others to ensure that our communities are protected from the negative impacts of pollution.

The Pollution Control team investigates complaints of statutory nuisance, responds to planning consultations, regulates Part A2 and B permitted processes, monitors air quality, oversees the contaminated land regime under Part II A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and receives licence applications to comment on. It also looks into pest infestations, drainage problems and accumulations of waste on land. It’s a wide range of work and we are therefore looking for someone who is flexible and can demonstrate the pragmatism required to get things done and problem solve.

To manage the team, you will need to have the technical knowledge to advise team members, the time management skills to prioritise your work and the teams, and the people skills to diplomatically communicate with a wide range of service users. To support you the Council provides flexible hours and hybrid working, a casual user car allowance, free office parking, personal and professional development opportunities, and access to the local government pension scheme.

Closing date: 06 September 2026

Are you looking for your next career step?

The Governing Board of Bamford Primary School is delighted to invite applications for the newly created role of Assistant Headteacher.

Bamford Primary School is a small, thriving rural primary school situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park. We are proud to be part of The Peak Federation, working in close partnership with Grindleford Primary School to provide the very best opportunities for our pupils, staff and wider community.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and experienced Teacher who is ready to take the next step into senior leadership. In the first instance, the successful candidate will have responsibility for a 0.6 Key Stage 2 class, working alongside an experienced class teacher, with dedicated leadership and management time built into the role.

As Assistant Headteacher, you will balance high-quality classroom practice with strategic leadership responsibilities. You will play a key role in supporting the smooth and effective day-to-day operation of the school and will lead the school in the absence of the Executive Headteacher. The role also offers significant opportunities to contribute to, and lead on, key priorities within our Federation Improvement Plan.

As this is a newly established position, we are keen to develop the role around the strengths, experience and aspirations of the successful candidate. We would particularly welcome applications from experienced teachers who have held leadership responsibilities and can demonstrate experience in some or all of the following areas:

Curriculum development and leadership
• Staff leadership, coaching and mentoring
• Proven success in raising attainment and improving outcomes
• Experience across multiple key stages and/or within mixed-age classes
• SEND and inclusion leadership

The successful candidate will be fully supported as they develop within the role. Opportunities will be available to work closely with the Deputy Headteacher at Grindleford Primary School, providing valuable opportunities for collaboration, professional support and networking within our Federation.

You will provide day-to-day leadership and guidance to the teaching team, helping to ensure that all pupils thrive within our inclusive and nurturing environment.

We are seeking an experienced and personable leader who inspires confidence in others and builds strong relationships across the school community. The successful candidate will be flexible in their approach, calm under pressure and capable of managing a busy and varied workload whilst maintaining a positive outlook. This role requires someone who can balance strategic leadership with practical day-to-day involvement in school life. Above all, we are looking for a team player with a good sense of humour, a genuine ‘can-do’ attitude and a willingness to embrace everything that makes our small rural school special. A big warm coat is highly recommended!

Key responsibilities are likely to include:

Leading the development and implementation of key aspects of the curriculum
• Supporting the work of the SENCO or, if appropriately qualified, sharing SENCO responsibilities with the Executive Headteacher
• Leading and contributing to school improvement priorities
• Providing Key Stage leadership, including responsibility for Key Stage 2 statutory assessments in the first instance
• Ensuring that our commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and pupil wellbeing is consistently upheld
• Developing and strengthening community engagement initiatives
• Maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality

As a small rural school, we value colleagues who are willing to immerse themselves in all aspects of school life. Flexibility, resilience and a hands-on approach are essential, alongside a genuine commitment to helping every child succeed.

This role would be particularly suited to an experienced teacher seeking their first Assistant Headteacher position and looking to develop their leadership career within a supportive and collaborative environment. Full support will be provided for relevant NPQs and other professional development opportunities.

LEARNING FOR LIFE

Following the retirement of our highly respected and long-serving Headteacher, the Governors of Chapel-en-le-Frith C of E VC Primary School are seeking an exceptional leader to write the next chapter in our school's success story.

This is a rare opportunity to lead one of Derbyshire's largest and most established primary schools; a school with a strong reputation, a talented and committed staff team, wonderful children and a supportive community. We are looking for someone with vision, warmth and ambition who relishes both the privilege and the challenge of leading a thriving school.

Our Christian vision underpins everything we do. It shapes our relationships, informs our decision-making and inspires our commitment to ensuring that every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish. We are proud to be a highly inclusive school where every child is cherished as an individual, compassion and respect are evident in all aspects of school life, and high expectations enable both pupils and adults to thrive.

Whilst many know us for our successful Enhanced Resource provision for children with additional needs, this is just one part of our school. Chapel-en-le-Frith is first and foremost a vibrant, ambitious primary school serving almost 500 children. We celebrate achievement in all its forms, provide a rich and engaging curriculum, and offer a wide range of opportunities in core subjects and sport, music, the arts, outdoor learning and the wider life of the school.

Our school enjoys extensive grounds and excellent facilities which support learning both inside and beyond the classroom. There is a calm, purposeful atmosphere where children enjoy learning, behave well and are proud of their school.

(Training and Policy Team)

Post 1: Full-Time (37 hours) Fixed until 31 March 2028

Post 2: Part-Time (18.5 hours) Permanent

Grade 10: £35,442 - £38,730 (pro rata)

Location: Parkwood, Alfreton (with some working from home available)

Closing date: Sunday 13 September 2026

Provisional interview date: Tuesday 29 September 2026

Job reference: JOB/26/02470

Derbyshire County Council's Welfare Rights Service helps Derbyshire residents maximise their income, access the benefits they are entitled to, and receive expert advice and representation when they need it most. In 2025/26, the service supported more than 20,000 Derbyshire residents with benefit enquiries, providing information, advice, casework and appeal representation.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Training and Policy Team as a Senior Welfare Benefits Officer. This is a specialist role within a highly regarded countywide service that combines expert welfare rights practice with training, service development, and influencing policy.

The Training and Policy Team plays a vital role in strengthening welfare benefits knowledge across Derbyshire. The team develops and delivers training to internal colleagues and external organisations, including community and voluntary sector partners. It also contributes to consultation responses, research, service development, and policy work, helping to ensure that advice remains accurate, responsive, and informed by legislative and national developments.

As a Senior Welfare Benefits Officer, you will play a leading role in developing knowledge, skills, and confidence across the Welfare Rights Service and among partner organisations. You will design and deliver training programmes, presentations, and learning resources for a range of audiences, from experienced advisers to professionals with little prior knowledge of welfare benefits. The ability to communicate complex legislation in a clear, engaging and practical way will be central to the role.

Alongside training responsibilities, you will maintain a complex caseload and continue to use your welfare rights expertise in practice. You will provide specialist advice, advocacy, and representation, including preparation for Social Security Tribunals and, where appropriate, Upper Tribunal work. Maintaining direct involvement in frontline casework ensures that training and policy activity remains grounded in real-world experience and emerging issues affecting Derbyshire residents.

The role also offers opportunities to contribute to wider service development. You will help identify emerging policy issues, interpret changes to social security legislation and case law, support consultation responses, undertake research, and develop resources that improve practice across the service. As a senior practitioner, you will mentor colleagues, share specialist knowledge, and contribute to maintaining high standards of advice and representation.

We are looking for someone with substantial welfare rights experience, excellent communication skills, and a strong understanding of social security legislation. You will have experience of delivering training, presentations or learning activities, together with the ability to analyse complex information, and present it clearly to different audiences. Experience of tribunal representation, mentoring colleagues, and contributing to service or policy development would be particularly valuable.

This role would suit an experienced welfare rights practitioner who enjoys sharing knowledge, developing others and influencing practice. It offers an excellent opportunity to shape how welfare benefits advice is delivered across Derbyshire while continuing to make a direct difference to residents through specialist casework and advocacy.

Please refer to the Job and Person Profile for full details of the knowledge, skills and experience required. Applicants are strongly encouraged to demonstrate clearly within their suitability section how they meet each of the essential criteria.

Travel across Derbyshire may be required as part of the role. Hybrid working arrangements will be considered subject to service need.

Trust Safeguarding Officer

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Closing date: 03 September 2026

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY USING THE DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL WEBSITE, PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Trust Safeguarding Officer to join Derby Diocesan Academy Trust’s (DDAT) central team.

DDAT is a Multi Academy Trust that oversee and support schools across Derbyshire and Derby City. Established in 2014 by the Diocese of Derby, DDAT is committed to providing high quality education for all children in their academies based on clearly established Christian values and principles. As a growing Trust, the Trust Safeguarding Officer will play a pivotal role in our future growth.

As our Trust continues to grow, we are committed to ensuring that every child receives the highest standard of safeguarding support, regardless of which school they attend. This newly created role will provide additional operational safeguarding capacity across the Trust, working closely with our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), senior leaders and attendance leads to promote consistent, effective and child-centred practice.

The Trust Safeguarding Officer will play a key role in supporting schools with safeguarding advice, early help pathways, safeguarding-attendance integration and quality assurance, and will report directly to the Trust Safeguarding Lead. With CPOMS embedded across our schools, the postholder will help maximise its effectiveness through training, support and compliance monitoring, while identifying emerging themes and risks to strengthen safeguarding systems. As safeguarding reforms continue to evolve nationally and locally, this role will make a significant contribution to developing capacity, improving consistency and ensuring our schools remain fully equipped to safeguard and promote the welfare of every child in our care.

In return, DDAT will offer you:

An opportunity to work as part of a supportive team and empower you to further develop the Trust.
A competitive salary and LGPS pension contributions.
Ongoing high quality professional development opportunities.
Hybrid working with the opportunity to work from the office in Bakewell, home and the DDAT schools across the Trust.
Benefits including but not limited to; Free onsite parking at Bakewell Head Office, Cycle to Work Scheme, free eye tests and a contribution towards a pair of glasses for employees using VDU’s, Employee Assistant Programme & an opportunity to work flexibly.

About this company

The values and ethos that DDAT is built upon are Christian in nature and represent values and principles that are important to people of all faiths and no faith. There is a focus on individuality, collaboration and unity; there is a real sense of belonging within DDAT. This is well-balanced with a sense of autonomy and empowerment enabling schools to flourish as separate and unique entities. Derby Diocesan Academy Trust (DDAT) was formed in response to the national Academy and Free School Programme and provides a Diocesan home to schools (Church or non-Church) either choosing or requiring an academy solution. DDAT strives to help ensure the sustainability of highly valued church schools, even in the unfortunate circumstances that a school is required to move away from being maintained by the local authority in order to secure rapid school improvement. DDAT is increasingly assisting non-faith-based schools as they plan to sustain improvements by joining the growing number of schools within the DDAT family. DDAT is proud to be a Diocesan Trust. We work closely with the Diocesan Board of Education (DBE), having shared values and a vision which is deeply Christian.

We would consider flexibility around working pattern, including Term Time Only working

Derbyshire Children's Residential Services is entering an exciting period of growth and development. Over the next three years due to planned expansion we anticipate recruiting to a number of Registered Manager positions across our service.

Many of our current Registered Managers, Assistant Heads of Service and senior leaders have developed their careers within Derbyshire's residential services, demonstrating our commitment to recognising talent and investing in people. We are proud to create opportunities for progression and to support ambitious practitioners to achieve their career goals.

As we continue to expand our provision and open new homes, we are keen to hear from both experienced Registered Managers and aspiring Deputy Managers who are ready to take the next step in their leadership journey. We recognise that exceptional leaders come from a range of backgrounds and are committed to supporting the development of future Registered Managers through coaching, mentoring, training and operational support.

This is more than a single vacancy. It is an opportunity to become part of a growing service where new leadership opportunities will continue to emerge as we expand. For those with ambition, commitment and a passion for improving the lives of children, there has never been a better time to join Derbyshire Children's Residential Services.

More Than a Manager

This is an opportunity to join one of the most ambitious and growing local authority residential services in the region. Over the coming years, we will be opening new homes and creating further leadership opportunities, allowing talented managers to shape services, influence practice and play a key role in improving the lives of children and young people across Derbyshire.

The ability to identify signposting opportunities is necessary to support carers, maximise independence and individual wellbeing with a focus on promoting person-centred, strength-based and cost effective outcomes.

Whilst NED has a separate Duty team, it is necessary to be able to respond to changing situations, to effectively cover, triage and assess incoming work to support Adults and their carers - who may require a more urgent response. It is vital to be able to evidence experience and skills to manage a complex caseload whilst meeting your statutory duties in a safe, accountable and cost-effective manner to meet Care Act (2014) eligible needs alongside local authority statutory duties of care.

It is an advantage to have experience of taking the lead on Section 42 Safeguarding, chairing multi agency meetings, such as Multi-Agency Risk Management (MARM) and completing Mental Capacity Act (2005) assessments, including Best Interest meetings, COP-DOLs and court work – though support, training and experience will be available for the right candidate if you wish to develop your skills in these areas.

Derbyshire County Council is a fantastic place to work with friendly, supportive teams, access to training and a wealth of other benefits such as our flexi working scheme. You will have a minimum of monthly 1:1 supervision and plenty of opportunities for informal support with both your team, peers and line managers.

Please Note: Only candidates who hold, or are due to obtain, a Social Work qualification that will enable registration with Social Work England will be shortlisted. Derbyshire County Council does not currently offer sponsorship. Due to the fixed-term nature of the role and current staffing within the team, candidates who have completed their ASYE are preferred as they are more likely to be able to hit the ground running. However, applications from newly qualified social workers will also be considered.
