We are a large FE college with a turnover of circa £110m. Trustees help ensure all learners get the best possible experience and leave equipped for the next stage of life whether employment, training or continuing in education.
What difference will you make?
As part of our Board you will support and shape our work and strategic direction, helping to ensure that all learners have the best possible experience, equipping them for the next step, be that employment, further education or training.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a range of skills including qualified accountants, risk specialists, and property development professionals. Experience of leadership, community development, employer engagement and skills development are also valued.
What will you be doing?
Board members join a Committee and are expected to attend 8-10 meetings per year including two strategy days. Meetings take place in person at our Poplar campus in the early evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays while the strategy days are at our Hackney campus during the working day. We actively encourage Board members to visit our campuses during the working day and attend events such as the annual student awards. You may have been a Governor elsewhere but this is not essential.
