Job overview

Principal, Westminster, London

Since its inception in 2006, the Fashion Retail Academy has established itself as a leading education and training provider for students keen to forge a career in fashion retail. Situated just off Oxford Street and with exceptional facilities, the FRA works closely with major players in the industry providing students with unrivalled access to meaningful industry placements and genuine career opportunities. Our new Principal will be a hugely important figure within the Academy, driving quality improvement, curriculum development and income generation while understanding the motivations and drivers of the fashion retail industry in a genuinely employer led training environment. If you can confidently speak the language of education and business, you could be the perfect fit.

You should present a strong track record as a senior manager within an Education and Skills setting and though the emphasis is on your educational expertise (direct experience of fashion retail isn't a requirement), you will have an affinity and enthusiasm for the industry. Able to identify the opportunities for growth you'll shape a versatile and responsive curriculum that expands and diversifies our offer to students and employers, and nurtures entrepreneurialism and innovation. Recent experience of current inspection frameworks and of successfully leading the quality agenda in a high performing education and training institution is essential. Confident, commercial and engaging, you'll be a strong ambassador for the Academy and quick to establish credibility and trust with some of the biggest names in fashion retail.
