Home / Roles / Governors Warwickshire College Group Warwickshire College Group seeks Governors with education insight or audit expertise to help drive excellence and future growth. Location: Campuses across Warwickshire and Worcestershire Warwickshire College Group (WCG) is one of the UK's largest further education providers, recognised for its strong commitment to high quality learning, skills development and community impact. With campuses across Warwickshire and Worcestershire, WCG plays a vital role in supporting local employers, shaping future talent and widening opportunities for learners of all ages. To continue delivering excellence, WCG is seeking to appoint two new members to its Governing Body or Corporation: a Governor with strong educational experience and a co opted member to join its Audit Committee. These roles will be central to ensuring robust oversight, ambitious strategic direction and confident decision making across the Group. We are looking for individuals who are motivated by the power of education, confident in strategic thinking and committed to supporting a diverse and forward looking organisation. If you bring professional expertise, sound judgement and a passion for making a difference, we would be delighted to hear from you. Who we are Warwickshire College Group (WCG) is one of the largest further education providers in the West Midlands. With around 13,000 students, 1,300 staff and an annual turnover of c.£60m, we operate across five campuses in Warwickshire and Worcestershire, including Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick, Rugby, Moreton Morrell and Pershore. Led by our Principal and CEO, Sarah-Jane Watkin, and guided by our mission to deliver high quality learning that supports regional growth and opportunity, WCG blends academic and vocational education to equip learners with both technical expertise and the wider skills needed for successful futures. The work of everyone across our group is underpinned by our IMPACT values: Mindful Progressive Ambitious Transformative These shape every aspect of our culture and our strategic direction, reinforcing our commitment to student success, strong community partnerships and long term sustainability. Our strategic aims centre on inspiring opportunity, empowering staff, building partnerships with employers and enhancing resilience for the future, with students placed firmly at the heart of every decision that we make. Across the Group, we deliver more than 500 courses across a broad and diverse range of curricula and qualifications, ensuring we are best placed to serve the education and training needs of around 15,000 learners each year. Through the tireless efforts of our staff, we continue to play a vital role in shaping the region's workforce and expanding access to education. The quality of this provision was last inspected by Ofsted in May 2024, where we were graded as Good in all areas. Across our campuses, spanning both urban and rural communities, we remain committed to transforming lives, driving innovation and sustaining growth while preparing learners for a rapidly changing world. About the role Governors at WCG play a vital strategic role in shaping the educational character, sustainability and long term success of the organisation. Our Governing Body or Corporation is led by our Chair, Gill Clipson MBE and comprises a diverse range of experienced and committed strategic leaders from all walks of life. As a Governor, you will work in partnership with other Board Members to ensure the College's mission meets community needs and that public funds are used effectively and responsibly. Governors also uphold legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance with the Corporation's Instrument and Articles of Government, as well as the wider statutory framework governing further education providers. You will hold executive leaders to account for the quality of education, the performance of learners and the effectiveness of the staff team, ensuring that WCG continues to deliver strong outcomes across its campuses. A key part of the role is safeguarding the financial health and sustainability of the College, ensuring that resources are managed responsibly and that the organisation remains solvent while fulfilling its public responsibilities. As a Governor, you will be expected to apply your specialist knowledge, professional insight and independent judgement to support robust, well informed decision making at the board and committee level. To do this, you will need to act with skill, care and diligence, comply with our legal and regulatory framework and uphold the highest standards of integrity. Our Governors also act as ambassadors for the College within the wider community, championing our mission and strengthening relationships with partners and stakeholders. The impact you can make as a Governor is significant. By providing strategic oversight rather than day to day management, you will help drive educational excellence, ensure accountability, protect the long term interests of learners and communities and support the College to deliver high quality, future focused education across its campuses. Who we are looking for The ideal candidates for these Governor opportunities will bring professional credibility, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to strengthening further education. Academic Standards and Quality Assurance Committee Member Firstly, we seek to appoint a Governor with experience in education. Candidates for this role will be those who have worked at a senior leadership level within the education sector, preferably in further education, who can contribute deep insight into teaching, learning and strategic curriculum development. Experience in safeguarding, leading education focused services within local authorities or working within 14-16 provision will also be welcomed as we believe this expertise will enhance the Board's ability to champion high standards and maintain a robust, learner centred approach whilst ensuring we always have a keen focus on the safety and well being of all of our students. Alongside this, candidates should be confident strategic thinkers, able to analyse complex information, ask challenging yet constructive questions about our broad provision, whilst bringing an informed perspective to decision making. The appointed candidate will become a full Board member whilst also being asked to join our Academic Standards and Quality Assurance Committee. Audit Committee Member We then also seek to appoint a co opted member to join our Audit Committee. For this role, we welcome applications from qualified and experienced professionals with strong knowledge of audit, risk, compliance or cyber security, as well as senior qualified finance professionals. Candidates for this role will bring the assurance skills needed to scrutinise financial management, risk controls and governance processes, ensuring transparency, accountability and resilience across the organisation. In the first instance, the candidate appointed to this role will serve only on our Audit Committee; we believe there will be an opportunity to join our full Board in the future as well. Across both roles, we encourage applicants who demonstrate integrity, collaboration and a commitment to supporting the transformative impact of education. Time Commitment and Expectations We ask our Board Members to be willing to commit to a four year term of office. Our Board meets four times per year in person at our Trident Campus in Warwick. These meetings take place in October, December, March and July. These meetings take place on a Tuesday and start at 17:30. We also host a Strategy Day in February. Our Academic Standards and Quality Assurance Committee meetings are held online. They take place four times per year in October, December, March and June. These meetings take place on a Tuesday and start at 17:30. Our Audit Committee meetings are also held online. They meet twice per year in February and June, on a Tuesday at 17:30. There is an additional Audit meeting in partnership with our Resources Committee in December, which starts at 09:00. Whilst the attendance at meetings is a minimum requirement, to be an effective Governor, we hope that appointed individuals will be able to offer more of their time to the Group through attending events and visiting our campuses where their time allows. We provide additional opportunities for our Board Members to engage with the Group through other activities and events. New Governors will all be supported through a comprehensive induction and training process delivered by Lorna Lloyd Williams, Corporation Secretary, as well as ongoing support thereafter. We estimate that our Governors commit up to 12 hours per month to their role, whilst those who support us through co opted roles spend no more than 10 hours per month on governance business.

Through the tireless efforts of our staff, we continue to play a vital role in shaping the region's workforce and expanding access to education. The quality of this provision was last inspected by Ofsted in May 2024, where we were graded as Good in all areas. Across our campuses, spanning both urban and rural communities, we remain committed to transforming lives, driving innovation and sustaining growth while preparing learners for a rapidly changing world. About the role Governors at WCG play a vital strategic role in shaping the educational character, sustainability and long term success of the organisation. Our Governing Body or Corporation is led by our Chair, Gill Clipson MBE and comprises a diverse range of experienced and committed strategic leaders from all walks of life. As a Governor, you will work in partnership with other Board Members to ensure the College's mission meets community needs and that public funds are used effectively and responsibly. Governors also uphold legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance with the Corporation's Instrument and Articles of Government, as well as the wider statutory framework governing further education providers. You will hold executive leaders to account for the quality of education, the performance of learners and the effectiveness of the staff team, ensuring that WCG continues to deliver strong outcomes across its campuses. A key part of the role is safeguarding the financial health and sustainability of the College, ensuring that resources are managed responsibly and that the organisation remains solvent while fulfilling its public responsibilities. As a Governor, you will be expected to apply your specialist knowledge, professional insight and independent judgement to support robust, well informed decision making at the board and committee level. To do this, you will need to act with skill, care and diligence, comply with our legal and regulatory framework and uphold the highest standards of integrity. Our Governors also act as ambassadors for the College within the wider community, championing our mission and strengthening relationships with partners and stakeholders. The impact you can make as a Governor is significant. By providing strategic oversight rather than day to day management, you will help drive educational excellence, ensure accountability, protect the long term interests of learners and communities and support the College to deliver high quality, future focused education across its campuses. Who we are looking for The ideal candidates for these Governor opportunities will bring professional credibility, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to strengthening further education. Academic Standards and Quality Assurance Committee Member Firstly, we seek to appoint a Governor with experience in education. Candidates for this role will be those who have worked at a senior leadership level within the education sector, preferably in further education, who can contribute deep insight into teaching, learning and strategic curriculum development. Experience in safeguarding, leading education focused services within local authorities or working within 14-16 provision will also be welcomed as we believe this expertise will enhance the Board's ability to champion high standards and maintain a robust, learner centred approach whilst ensuring we always have a keen focus on the safety and well being of all of our students. Alongside this, candidates should be confident strategic thinkers, able to analyse complex information, ask challenging yet constructive questions about our broad provision, whilst bringing an informed perspective to decision making. The appointed candidate will become a full Board member whilst also being asked to join our Academic Standards and Quality Assurance Committee. Audit Committee Member We then also seek to appoint a co opted member to join our Audit Committee. For this role, we welcome applications from qualified and experienced professionals with strong knowledge of audit, risk, compliance or cyber security, as well as senior qualified finance professionals. Candidates for this role will bring the assurance skills needed to scrutinise financial management, risk controls and governance processes, ensuring transparency, accountability and resilience across the organisation. In the first instance, the candidate appointed to this role will serve only on our Audit Committee; we believe there will be an opportunity to join our full Board in the future as well. Across both roles, we encourage applicants who demonstrate integrity, collaboration and a commitment to supporting the transformative impact of education. Time Commitment and Expectations We ask our Board Members to be willing to commit to a four year term of office. Our Board meets four times per year in person at our Trident Campus in Warwick. These meetings take place in October, December, March and July. These meetings take place on a Tuesday and start at 17:30. We also host a Strategy Day in February. Our Academic Standards and Quality Assurance Committee meetings are held online. They take place four times per year in October, December, March and June. These meetings take place on a Tuesday and start at 17:30. Our Audit Committee meetings are also held online. They meet twice per year in February and June, on a Tuesday at 17:30. There is an additional Audit meeting in partnership with our Resources Committee in December, which starts at 09:00. Whilst the attendance at meetings is a minimum requirement, to be an effective Governor, we hope that appointed individuals will be able to offer more of their time to the Group through attending events and visiting our campuses where their time allows. We provide additional opportunities for our Board Members to engage with the Group through other activities and events. New Governors will all be supported through a comprehensive induction and training process delivered by Lorna Lloyd Williams, Corporation Secretary, as well as ongoing support thereafter. We estimate that our Governors commit up to 12 hours per month to their role, whilst those who support us through co opted roles spend no more than 10 hours per month on governance business.
