Our unique mission provides open access learning for local people and businesses, and we are at the leading edge of delivery through our innovative, diverse, inclusive and collaborative approach, which is supported by high-quality staff teams and aspiring students.  

We are looking for a strategic, curriculum expert to assist us on our journey to ‘Outstanding’. Newham College’s 2016 Ofsted inspection confirmed that the College has maintained its ‘Good’ status and continues to build on many strengths including; very high achievement rates for the large cohort of adult students; the welcoming, safe and vibrant atmosphere of the College; strong academic and personal support for students and the focus on students progressing into employment or further study, including higher education. Working with the local authority on their priorities, and taking into account community requirements, you will be responsible for improving teaching and learning across the board and sharing best practice within the College.  

Our mission provides open access to learning for young people, adults and businesses. This demands a unique response, which you will be committed to leading and enhancing. Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do, as is inspirational leadership, collaborative strategy, and expert management.  

The College financial health rating has been assessed as good for 15/16 and 16/17 is on track to ‘Outstanding’.  

A big part of this role will be reshaping the curriculum around evolving needs, optimising the funding available to support this and developing the progression pathways in the College’s curriculum specialisms.  

The College’s priority is to continue to be highly responsive to local employment opportunities; maintain a highly productive relationship with the local borough council and continue to deliver on many local and regional regeneration projects. Vital is keeping its strong focus on innovation, social inclusion and open access for all local people. To achieve this we will continue to work closely with our strategic partners to enable our community to be more resilient and high-achieving with better employment prospects.
