Job overview
Are you looking for an exciting new challenge? The Sixth Form at Bradford College is looking for a dynamic, inspirational and experienced manager who can successfully develop the provision to be the best in the region. It will be a demanding role and requires someone who can exercise initiative, drive through changes, lead and manage staff and develop innovation in teaching and learning.
The provision has grown over the past few years and a key target will be to further develop the Sixth Form within a short space of time. Experience of managing sixth form provision in schools or the FE sector will therefore be an advantage.
You must have a working knowledge of funding relevant to the Sixth Form and be fully up to date with current and forthcoming changes in the external landscape which could impact on the provision.
There has been recent investment in resources and staffing for the Sixth Form and as part of one of the largest FE Colleges in the region, you will have access to wide range of outstanding facilities.
