forward thinking governors who would like to make a
contribution in the local community, and bring a fresh perspective
to governance.
Vacancies available now
During the next academic year the corporation will be
seeking two new governors who are high level strategic thinkers
and/or with financial experience.
Governors would be especially keen to hear from candidates who
are female and /or of ethnic minority background, in
senior management positions (or equivalent).
The college is a large and complex organisation with 2,000
staff, and 25,000 learners, with a turnover of £50m+ and a
continuing programme of major capital expenditure on new buildings
across six major sites.
The corporation has the overall responsibility for the strategic
direction, development and financial health of the college and
helps to create an environment that supports learners and staff in
their endeavours.
There are twenty governors who are drawn from a wide range of
business, industrial and professional backgrounds at various
management levels, including two members of college staff and two
student members.
Members usually attend at least three meetings of
the corporation or its committees each term and give their
time without payment. Appropriate training and support is available
to new members.
