Established as a stand-alone college in 2013 and operating from a prestigious, city centre new-build, Newcastle Sixth Form College has the ambition to be the best performing A level provider in the region. With an income of £5million and 1200 students, the college offers a wide range of programmes and enrichment opportunities.

Leading on strategic planning and curriculum development, you will ensure learner success and financial stability. Through effective leadership skills you will engage and motivate the workforce, harnessing talent to ensure ongoing excellence and innovation in all we do.
Our successful candidate will be a visible and inspirational leader with the ability to create and embed innovative, forward-thinking strategies to further develop the college.
