Job overview
How does a College employing 1,200 people committed to working to transform lives and support business, with a £40m turnover and split across three major sites, feel like such a close community? Gloucestershire College does.
Through the leadership of our current Principal, strong management team and staff we are unrecognisable compared to the organisation we were 10 years ago. Rooted in the community, about to embark on another campus rebuild, ambitious about our future and in an outstanding financial position we are facing the challenges of our sector with confidence. With the retirement of Greg Smith we now need a new Principal who has a passion for education and students, strengths in organisational leadership and a commitment to external engagement to lead and continue our impressive journey; transforming lives and supporting businesses across Gloucestershire.
As a member of the Gazelle Group we are committed to transforming the curriculum to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset in our students to serve our local employers and it is important that our next Principal continues this work. As our next Principal you will lead a talented executive team, encouraging creativity and being brave in the face of unprecedented sector changes; being static or waiting for economic or financial improvements is not our approach. This is a highly public role across the region, as such you will need to work with and carry the confidence of a number of high profile partners, equally, you must be an expert people manager, someone who can engage with staff, students and Governors.
