Job overview
Ref 140910
The promotion of one of our existing senior leaders to the post of principal at another North West college has resulted in this exciting opportunity. We are seeking someone with a passion for teaching and learning, excellent leadership and team-working skills and a strong track record of quality improvement in post-16 (or 11-18) education to share in the day-to-day running of our nationally recognised sixth form college, which currently provides education of the very highest standard to approximately 4800 full-time students.
The next few years will be a period of arguably unprecedented change in the FE sector; in this new and rapidly changing landscape, we aim to build on our position as one of top colleges in the country by continuing to develop even better, more efficient, ways of doing things.
Your key focus if appointed will be to work in partnership with another deputy principal to secure the smooth day to day running of our sixth form college; you will also make an important contribution towards meeting the key goals of the college in the next 12-24 months, which are:
- to further improve our approaches to teaching, learning, assessment and support
- to adapt well and quickly to the demands of the new A level, GCSE and BTEC qualifications
- to maintain recruitment levels in an increasingly competitive market
- to continue to improve college facilities
- to maintain strong financial health
Runshaw College is a fantastic place to work and to study. It has demonstrated a capacity for enduring success, being described by Ofsted in April 2013 as a college that "has been outstanding for more than 20 years". More recently, Ofsted described support for students at the college as being "in a different league".
If you are excited by this opportunity and you are keen to develop your skills and experiences in a supportive, harmonious and high performing senior leadership team, then we would dearly like to receive your application.
Closing date is 12 noon Friday 26th September 2014.

About Runshaw College
Runshaw College first opened in 1974 as a small Sixth Form College with just 450 students. Almost fifty years later, we are now a hugely successful comprehensive Tertiary College with over 6000 learners, supported by over 650 staff. What has never changed at Runshaw, is our enduring focus on teaching, learning and the needs of our students, which is always at the centre of everything we do. As a result, we have developed a national reputation for educational excellence.
Runshaw College is one of the largest providers of A Level courses in the country, offering an extensive range of over 40 different subject options. The sixth-form curriculum also includes a very broad range of vocational courses, from Entry Level to Level 3. As a comprehensive Tertiary College, we also provide large numbers of apprenticeships in partnership with local employers, as well as significant adult learning programmes to meet the needs of our communities.
The college has very strong relationships with a broad range of employers, working in collaboration and co-creating an agile curriculum to address skills shortages and develop the highly-skilled and employable workforce of the future. Students consistently achieve some of the strongest outcomes nationally, and progress in large numbers to prestigious destinations including Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science courses, and prestigious conservatoires.
