Vice Principal - Curriculum and Quality

Bishop Auckland College is a great place to study and work and we are proud of our distinctive internal culture. Our staff work together as a tight-knit team, totally dedicated to our students, the College and the communities we serve.

As an outward-facing organisation, we recognise the critical importance of collaboration in order to lead change and influence local agendas. Through our many partnerships with employers and other stakeholders, the College has established its place at the heart of the community and as a key partner in the regeneration of Bishop Auckland and South Durham.

We have worked hard to simultaneously manage costs and develop strategic opportunities, and our financial health is good.

Recent developments include our partnership with the specialist engineering and manufacturing centre, South West Durham Training, and the launch of our first full degree level programme, in partnership with the Open University. We also recently introduced alternative provision for 14-16-year-olds who are not thriving in mainstream education.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection challenged us to think differently about some aspects of our work and to embrace opportunities; are you a leader who could help to steer our College community with agility and vigour as we navigate through our exciting journey of transformational change?

The successful candidate will have recent senior management experience within a 'good' or 'outstanding' college.
