Introduction to New City College
New City College (NCC) is the fourth largest further education college in England. It has been formed through five mergers: the merger between Tower Hamlets College and Hackney Community College in August 2016 and subsequent mergers with Redbridge College in April 2017, Epping Forest College in August 2018 and the mergers with Havering College of Further and Higher Education and Havering Sixth Form College in August 2019.
NCC currently has over 25,000 students with a small provision of 14-15 education, a large cohort of 16-18 students and a significant number of adult students. It offers over a 100 courses from A Levels, BTECs and ESOL to vocational subjects, such as business, IT, performing arts, trade skills and catering as well as pre-University courses. Throughout its intensive period of growth, NCC has maintained a focus on students and teaching and learning.
NCC is based in east London and has 10 sites in five local authorities: Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Redbridge, Epping Forest and Havering. The College continues to maintain its strong local presence, serving the needs of its local communities.
Join an ambitious and exciting redevelopment project
The College has an ambitious plan to redevelop its campus in Poplar. Located on Poplar High Street, right next to Poplar DLR station and within 200m of Canary Wharf and Crossrail, the current campus is formed of an amalgam of buildings from different areas. The oldest part is a 1894 Poplar library building and it includes a grade II listed Naval College from 1906. Newer parts of the building are from 1990 and 2006. The current building is inefficient and it is no longer future proofed to accommodate education and training provision for decades to come.
As such, the College is looking to redevelop the new campus into a state-of-the-art education facility which provides a flexible learning environment, is aligned with industry requirements, is green, accessible and sustainable and celebrates the heritage of the local area and the Naval College. The new campus will be funded through an enabling development, built on the same site as the new campus. There is also an opportunity to enhance the public realm around the new development, including invigorating Poplar High Street.
Could this be the future campus in Poplar?
As part of the early planning for the redevelopment, NCC has worked with fundraising consultancy More Partnership to assess the overall potential to seek philanthropic support for aspects of the redevelopment, including specific subject areas and student groups. From this, it is clear that there is considerable scope to engage Trusts and Foundations with the project, and that resulting impact NCC has on the lives of young people in this part of London.
As a result, NCC now wishes to appoint a Trusts and Foundations Manager to lead this work, and in so doing, to put in place a long-term and sustainable grant-focused fundraising programme.
Interviews will take place week commencing: 13th January 2020

The Relationship and Development Manager (RDM) will be responsible for leading the cultivation of local authority partnerships to maximize service, satisfaction, growth and participant retention. We are looking for someone who is able to persuade and influence others, challenge decisions when relevant, is able to listen, and advise on programme-related issues. This role requires someone who is enthusiastic about working to maintain, and where relevant, improve the satisfaction of our participants and local authority partners.
Local authorities play a critical role in the Frontline programme. Our participants spend a year with them learning how to apply their academic learning to children and families in need for whom the local authority is responsible. They are based in the local authority’s children’s service, working alongside qualified social work teams. After the first year they qualify as a social worker and become an employee of the local authority, which in turn continues to support their development.
Local authorities’ children’s services are complex organisations facing a range of challenges and pressures. We need to work closely with them so that they can provide the best learning experience for our participants, but also so that they can benefit in terms of their own service and practice development as a result of their partnership with Frontline.
The RDM is responsible for managing, coordinating and developing all aspects of the relationship with local authorities, at all levels. This is a highly responsible role and will have a direct impact on the quality of programme implementation. As well as ensuring planned elements of the programme are delivered, it involves responding to new and unexpected issues, as well as identifying areas for improvement and leading on change. It provides the opportunity to create effective relationships at all organisational levels, and to apply and further develop high level communication skills at both 1:1 and wider group level. There is a focus on building direct human relationships, with post-holders spending time on-site with their local authorities to achieve shared goals.
This role is a 9 months fixed-term contract (maternity cover).
