Job overview

HCUC is a large general further education college group, based in the London boroughs of Harrow and Hillingdon, with four campuses at Harrow on the Hill, Harrow Weald, Hayes and Uxbridge. We are very proud of our recent full Ofsted inspection, the first as a merged college group, where we achieved a ‘Good’ outcome overall with many areas, including leadership and management, rated ‘Outstanding’.  We have approximately 10,000 students studying with us – almost 6000 of these are young people, with just over 3000 adults and around 650 apprentices. We are an ambitious college group with a strong work ethos with the ability to respond effectively to local, regional and national priorities to provide a curriculum offer that meets sector needs.  

HCUC Apprenticeships and Skills is the area of the college group that oversees apprenticeships, work-based learning, programmes for the unemployed as well as many of our links and partnership work with employers.  Following the promotion of our previous post holder to the role of Principal (Harrow College), we are now seeking to recruit to the post of Managing Director: Employer Services and Partnerships. Our new MD will lead on the college group’s apprenticeship growth programme and position the group as a premier provider of apprenticeships across key industrial sectors. This is the main strategic priority for this post-holder.

This senior leader will have responsibility for the development and delivery of strategies to ensure the college is effectively meeting the training and development needs of local and regional employers, whilst achieving commercial income targets and promoting the college group’s employer facing offer. In addition, the post holder will develop and maintain excellent partnerships which grow the reputation of the group whilst exploiting new opportunities and building on existing successful initiatives and programmes to ensure their continued success.

About HRUC - Harrow College

On 1 August 2017 Uxbridge and Harrow Colleges merged to become HCUC. The Colleges are now officially part of the same organisation and will work together to provide the best opportunities to students, but will keep their individual names and campuses. As well as keeping  their current identities each college will continue to run the majority of their current courses for the foreseeable future.

The merger of the two Colleges into a single legal entity has taken place in order to maximise future opportunities for students, employers and local communities, through a combination of preserving current provision, and pooling resources and expertise to develop education and training.

Group Principal and CEO Laraine Smith and Principal and Deputy CEO Pat Carvalho said: “This exciting partnership was identified by both Harrow College and Uxbridge College’s governing bodies as the best way forward for our local communities. Both Colleges are very pleased to be able to maintain their current identities and the bulk of their current courses, as well as to be enhancing provision on an ongoing basis by pooling resources and expertise. We believe this merger will result in a financially resilient and sustainable college group, allowing us to continue to meet the needs of our students, employers and the communities we serve.”

While Uxbridge College and Harrow College will continue to operate as individual Colleges serving their local and regional communities, the Uxbridge College Corporation (the Governing Body), which now oversees the running of both Colleges, has been renamed HCUC to reflect the enlarged remit of serving Uxbridge and Harrow Governors following the 1 August 2017 merger.
