As Assistant Principal & Director of NETA Training, you'll shape the future of engineering skills and help learners and industry thrive across the Tees Valley and beyond. Location: Teesside About the role. NETA Training is one of the North East's leading providers of engineering and technical training. We help people gain the skills and qualifications that shape successful careers and strengthen local industry. As part of the Education Training Collective (Etc.) , NETA delivers high quality apprenticeships, study programmes and commercial training for learners and employers across the Tees Valley and beyond. With strong employer partnerships and a proud reputation for excellence, NETA plays a vital role in driving regional skills and supporting economic growth. As Assistant Principal & Director of NETA Training, you'll lead the strategic and operational direction of the company, reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Executive. As a key member of the Group Management Team, you'll work collaboratively across the Etc. Group to deliver shared goals and ensure NETA continues to thrive as a centre of excellence for technical education and workforce development. You will be accountable for the quality of NETA's provision - ensuring that teaching, learning and assessment consistently meet the highest standards. You'll drive forward a culture of continuous improvement, embedding robust self assessment and quality improvement processes that support every department to progress towards outstanding outcomes. We expect that your leadership will contribute to the tone and culture of NETA. You'll model the values and voice of the Etc. Group, creating a positive, inclusive and innovative environment where colleagues feel empowered, supported and motivated to deliver their best. You'll ensure that teams are clear about their objectives, that professional development is encouraged and embedded and that quality improvement is understood as everyone's responsibility. Externally, you'll represent NETA and the Group with confidence and credibility - strengthening relationships with employers, industry bodies and civic partners to ensure the curriculum remains responsive to future skills needs. You'll ensure NETA remains recognised for its high standards, exceptional learner experience and commitment to the communities it serves. You'll oversee all curriculum and commercial development, financial performance and the continued improvement of learner behaviour, engagement and achievement. This is an opportunity to lead an organisation with real purpose - one that changes lives through education, innovation and opportunity. As our next Assistant Principal & Director of NETA Training, you'll help shape NETA's next chapter, building on its strong foundations and ensuring it continues to deliver outstanding quality and impact as part of the Education Training Collective. Who are we looking for? We're looking for an ambitious and experienced leader who shares our passion for technical education and who will help NETA continue to thrive as part of the Education Training Collective. We welcome interest from candidates who can bring proven management and leadership experience, ideally gained within the further education or training sector and a strong track record of improving quality and standards. You'll understand what outstanding looks like in practice - from effective teaching, learning and assessment to the expectations of Ofsted and internal quality frameworks - and you'll have the insight to turn that understanding into meaningful, measurable improvement. A teaching qualification is essential, alongside evidence of ongoing professional development and a genuine commitment to continuous learning. A degree or higher management qualification would be an advantage, but just as important is your ability to apply sound educational and business principles in a fast moving environment. You'll be confident managing budgets, monitoring performance and delivering against ambitious targets - but you'll also know that success depends on people. You'll have the ability to lead, motivate and develop staff through trust, accountability and encouragement. You'll understand how to have the right conversations at the right time, providing both support and challenge to help teams perform at their best. We're looking for someone with energy, vision and resilience - a leader who thrives on collaboration, builds strong partnerships with employers and the wider community, and acts as a confident ambassador for NETA and the Group. You'll be a clear and engaging communicator, able to write sharp, well crafted reports and present ideas with clarity and conviction. Above all, you'll embody the values that define the Education Training Collective: inclusive, aspirational, learner focused and committed to excellence. You'll have a deep motivation to work with young people and adults, maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, safeguarding and care. You'll bring emotional resilience, high expectations for yourself and others, and a genuine belief in the power of education to change lives. If you're a leader who can balance strategic vision with hands on impact - someone who can inspire colleagues, deliver results and shape the future of NETA Training - we encourage you to reach out to our recruitment advisor at Peridot Partners. Peridot Partners and the client are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and all staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references before any final offer can be made. For further information about the role or to arrange a confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultant at Peridot Partners or Dan Baxter.
