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.

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.

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.
