Just thought I'd share my news with my DIS friends: I have a new job!

After four and a half years at the House of Commons the time has come to move on, and in the next few weeks I take up a post at the University of Warwick managing a programme to support technology education in schools across the country. I was looking for a more hands-on role, working closer to service delivery in education to complement my policy work over the last few years. I'm therefore very pleased with the new job as it is just the thing I was looking for.

To celebrate I have booked a lastminute skiing holiday, leaving on Saturday. When I'm away I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that these boards don't collapse, and that you'll alll be here when I return!

Regards

Rob

Rob, how exciting! It sounds like a really interesting job and well done to you. Working at the House of Commons seems quite glamourous to me, but then I'm easily impressed and no doubt the reality is altogether different!

Will it involve a house move for you? Enjoy your weekend. :D

Thanks very much, guys.

At the moment the intention is to spend part of the time at Warwick and part of the time working from home, so moving is not on the cards. However, it is a very nice part of the world so I would be happy to relocate if that was necessary in the long run.

Regards

Maybe not the cruise Steve, but certainly celebratory drinks! Assuming, of course, that like me enough to keep me on beyond my probationary period ;)
