Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College is based across two campuses, with differing provision across academic, vocational and land-based courses, ranging from agriculture and animal care to construction and creative arts. The college contributes to the local community and economy by developing successful partnerships to ensure students acquire the skills needed. The two legacy colleges merged in August 2024, and the corporation board are supporting the continuing integration and further strategic progression following the merger. With a 2025 Ofsted rating of 'Good', and recognition that the contribution to regional skills needs is strong, the College is proud to have an impact across its geographical setting and beyond. With a wide range of facilities, including an animal park, restaurant, hair and beauty salon and children's nursery, the College places great emphasis on its career focussed and hands-on learning to support learners. In the short-to-medium term, new governors will join the corporation board in strategic planning relating to the newly merged college status, with exciting chances to offer new opportunities to students and widen their horizons in an area where there are high levels of deprivation. Fostering resilience and helping learners be ready for the world of work are key aspects of the College's purpose. There are also a variety of harmonisation and systems development projects underway that have been brought about through the merger. In the medium term, the college is finalising their estates strategy for a varied estate that includes a farm, a listed house and numerous buildings in need of capital spend, including investment committed through the merger process. In the longer term, the corporation board will have a focus on further strategic change to support the needs of learners and the local context. Board members are pro-active in their planning and desire to ensure best possible outcomes for learners and the College and incoming governors will join a highly communicative and engaged board. Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College has a turnover of circa. £27m, employs 683 staff and has over 3,100 learners in total . Individuals with a desire to have an impact in such a large learning environment are sought. Total number of learners: • 16-19: 2397 • Adult: 330 • Higher Education (HE): 133 • Apprenticeships: 190 The College's requirements The College Corporation board at Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College is seeking three new governors with the following skills and experience: FE curriculum and student data Farm, land-based and livestock management Governance and assurance Applicants with experience gained in the FE sector and a strong understanding of quality and standards across the FE setting are sought. The successful candidate will ideally bring professional experience from an FE setting and be confident reframing this with a governance outlook.

The successful candidate may bring professional experience from a range of settings, including corporate or public sector governance.

Any pre-existing education governance experience, including within the FE sector, is desirable. Similarly, experience within change management and HR functions will support the board further in their strategic aims. Time commitment and meeting schedule On average over a year governors commit about two days a month to effectively contribute to their role, including meeting, preparation, committee involvements and any on-site visits. At this stage of the development of the College, the board estimates that governors volunteer at least two days per month to their role. Every College is different, with changing expectations on time and commitment and we encourage prospective candidates to discuss their availability through the application process.

For more than 90 years, YHA has believed in the transformative power of travel and adventure, particularly for young people and others who face barriers to accessing nature, the outdoors and shared cultural experiences. Through a unique network of around 120 hostels across England and Wales, YHA welcomes more than a million people each year, operating as both a charity and a large-scale social enterprise with a national footprint. In recent years, YHA, like many mission-driven organisations, has faced significant challenge. The pandemic, sustained inflation and structural shifts in the market have tested its operating model and financial resilience. In response, YHA has embarked on a clear, Board-backed programme of recovery and transformation, focused on long-term sustainability and impact. This is a defining moment in that journey. We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Finance & Performance to play a central role in reshaping YHA for the next generation. This is a senior strategic leadership role rather than a traditional finance director post. You will combine rigorous financial stewardship with a strong analytical and performance mindset, bringing clarity and confidence at a time when decisions matter. Working closely with the Executive Director of Resources & Transformation, the Executive Team and the Board, you will lead YHA's finance, performance management and business intelligence functions, strengthening financial foundations, governance and covenant compliance, and maintaining effective relationships with banks, auditors and regulators through a period of significant change. You will establish robust performance frameworks and high-quality management information that support evidence-led decision-making across the organisation. Your insight will underpin major strategic choices, including investment and asset optimisation, service delivery models, technology transformation and network change, helping YHA mature into a more consistently data-led organisation. We are keen to hear from experienced senior finance leaders from the charity, public or commercial sectors who see transformation as an opportunity rather than a burden. You will bring credibility at executive and board level, a strong track record of leading finance and performance through organisational change, and the resilience to balance short-term pressures with long-term ambition. Most importantly, you will be motivated by the opportunity to help secure the future of an organisation with a powerful social purpose.

Full time
For more than 90 years, YHA has believed in the transformative power of travel and adventure, particularly for young people and others who face barriers to accessing nature, the outdoors and shared cultural experiences. Through a unique network of around 120 hostels across England and Wales, YHA welcomes more than a million people each year, operating as both a charity and a large-scale social enterprise with a national footprint. In recent years, YHA, like many mission-driven organisations, has faced significant challenge. The pandemic, sustained inflation and structural shifts in the market have tested its operating model and financial resilience. In response, YHA has embarked on a clear, Board-backed programme of recovery and transformation, focused on long-term sustainability and impact. This is a defining moment in that journey. We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Finance & Performance to play a central role in reshaping YHA for the next generation. This is a senior strategic leadership role rather than a traditional finance director post. You will combine rigorous financial stewardship with a strong analytical and performance mindset, bringing clarity and confidence at a time when decisions matter. Working closely with the Executive Director of Resources & Transformation, the Executive Team and the Board, you will lead YHA's finance, performance management and business intelligence functions, strengthening financial foundations, governance and covenant compliance, and maintaining effective relationships with banks, auditors and regulators through a period of significant change. You will establish robust performance frameworks and high-quality management information that support evidence-led decision-making across the organisation. Your insight will underpin major strategic choices, including investment and asset optimisation, service delivery models, technology transformation and network change, helping YHA mature into a more consistently data-led organisation. We are keen to hear from experienced senior finance leaders from the charity, public or commercial sectors who see transformation as an opportunity rather than a burden. You will bring credibility at executive and board level, a strong track record of leading finance and performance through organisational change, and the resilience to balance short-term pressures with long-term ambition. Most importantly, you will be motivated by the opportunity to help secure the future of an organisation with a powerful social purpose.
