Job overview
New City College (NCC) is London’s second largest college, and the fourth largest college group in the UK, with over 20,000 students, a turnover of over £100m and campuses across Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Redbridge, Epping Forest and Havering. Since 2016, NCC has evolved through a series of four mergers with the intention to build a robust, resilient college that is rooted in its east London and south Essex communities and that ultimately ensures the best possible outcomes for its learners.
Whilst the college has increased in size and scale, it continues to retain its strong local identities and its campuses in each borough provide a strong choice of courses for their communities. The college is a diverse and talented organisation with a common belief in the power of the further education sector to transform lives.
NCC is now looking to recruit a Principal for its Rainham Construction and Engineering campus, a brand new, designed-for-purpose training facility which is interlinked to the fully refurbished previous campus building. Following a £15m redevelopment of the campus, our students are enjoying their new specialist training environment. We're proud of our Specialist Construction and Engineering Centre offering state-of-the-art facilities and the very best training and education. The new centre offers courses in Plumbing, Engineering, Electrical Installation and Electronics, alongside Brickwork, Carpentry and Painting & Decorating. The vast majority of our students progress to impressive positive destinations, including employment within the trades, higher apprenticeships and university.
This is a fantastic time to join us as our new Principal, leading locally to ensure a dynamic, successful and innovative college. Our new Principal will play a pivotal role within the Senior Leadership Team. The new post holder will embed a success-focused culture and transform the college’s approach to quality improvement, ensuring that teaching and learning standards are consistently high, that the offer is innovative and that all learners receive an excellent student experience at all times. In addition to strategic oversight and leadership of the campus, the Principal will have whole group responsibility for our commercial strategy.
The successful candidate will be a visible and motivational leader with experience of effective curriculum development and quality assurance within further education.
