College Governor - Board Member

Join us in making a positive impact on young people, meeting employers’ skills needs, and supporting our communities.  Help set the strategic direction of our college, drive innovation, and support our commitment to inclusivity and sustainability.  We have two immediate vacancies and one or two further opportunities arising in 2026​.

Governors are voluntary, non-executive board members who contribute their expertise, working constructively with the executive to set strategic direction, assess performance and ensure financial sustainability. You’ll work with a dedicated team, receive training and support, and gain insights into strategic business leadership.  You’ll attend 2-3 board/committee meetings per academic term.

We’re seeking people with the enthusiasm and commitment to share their knowledge and experience to support the mission, leadership, governance of our college in an ever-evolving education environment.  We believe in the strength of a diverse governing body and welcome applicants with varied backgrounds who bring fresh perspectives.

We particularly welcome professional expertise in:

• Education – especially post-16 (FE/ HE)
• Financial oversight (commercial or public sector)
• Chairing a board or leading a complex organisation
• Sustainability
• Property and land management

We also value experience in sectors linked to our curriculum offer or knowledge of our local and regional stakeholders.
