New Executive Director for South Tyneside Council

Replacement for Kim Bromley-Derry

I understand from various customers that South Tyneside District Council is to offer the job of Executive Director or Children and Young People to Helen Watson who is currently Deputy Director Children and Families at North Tyneside Council. It is not know as yet if she has accepted the offer or whether she has experience in massive reformation of primary school structures.

She faces a challenging start to her new office and I wish her well.

North Tyneside Conservative councillor Hugh Jackson says:

“I am, and always have been, impressed by Helen Watson whenever I
have had any dealings with her. To be honest, I rather hope that she does
not get the job, because I’d be sorry to lose talent!”

Looks like we may be on to a good ‘un!
