Jones held the lead Ofsted role between 2013 and 2015 after a year as president of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services in 2012.
She will replace Croydon’s outgoing executive director Rob Henderson who took up the role in 2018.

She has also worked at local authorities including Lambeth, Luton, Stoke-on-Trent, Durham, Slough and Oxfordshire.
