Runshaw College is one of the most successful colleges in the country, renowned locally and nationally for our outstanding results, friendly and supportive culture and focus on putting the student at the heart of all that we do.

We value our staff and students highly, and invest heavily in their development, support and wellbeing. Situated in Leyland, Lancashire, the College is near the M6, M61 and M65 and within commuting distance of Manchester, Liverpool and the Lake District. Our main Leyland campus is home to over 6000 learners and 650 staff. 

It is an exciting time in the development of our cross-college Digital Strategy, which will include a review of numerous college processes as well as the introduction of a new Student Records System, all with the aim of improving organisational efficiency and providing the best possible service to our students. 

This new role provides the opportunity for an experienced IT project manager to join our high-performing college management team to lead the introduction and implementation of a new Student Records System at the college (such as Advanced ProSuite, Tribal EBS or other sector-leading software), as well as developing and driving forward our over-arching Digital Strategy.    

These two projects will be the primary responsibilities of the successful candidate for at least the next two years, after which further innovations will be identified. 

You will take a pro-active and hands-on approach applying appropriate project management approaches across product and project assuring all aspects of the delivery, coordinating staff and resources across all aspects of the college.

You will be educated to at least degree level or have extensive relevant experience and are likely to have a relevant professional accreditation.

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.
