Are you passionate about Education? If so, we have an opportunity for you! We are looking for an exceptional individual to join our College Senior Leadership Team at a very exciting time, with an opportunity to shape and enhance our curriculum offer and support planning for delivery in our new state of the art Campus in Tamworth Town Centre.
South Staffordshire College is looking to hire a Director of Faculty who can provide inspirational leadership to staff to deliver outstanding teaching and learner experiences across a diverse range of curriculum areas. As Director of Faculty, you will work with the Assistant Principal - Curriculum and Quality to ensure that South Staffordshire College is recognised for excellence in all that it does.
About you…
The post holder will be responsible for growing the curriculum offer across a range of provision to ensure the college offer delivers upon local and national skills needs whilst driving innovation and ensuring high standards of quality assurance and improvement to secure high quality results.
Ideally you will have significant experience of managing and developing curriculum delivery in the post 16 sector, excellent communication skills and knowledge and a discipline in one of the curriculum areas you will be managing (Construction/Electrical/Motor Vehicle or Engineering). You will have a strong track record of implementing and leading innovation and improvement in curriculum areas and demonstrating its impact in terms of tangible results.
About us…
South Staffordshire College is committed to providing an inclusive learning environment which allows all learners to achieve their potential, whatever their starting point.
The college has seen significant growth in its learner numbers and has ambitious plans to grow further to ensure more of our local community have access to high quality education and training.
The coaching culture at the college will allow you to foster a culture of continuous growth and development within your teams to support the college towards the achievement of its strategic objectives and growth plans.
Learners are the heart of everything the college does, and this is reflected in our learner satisfaction rates. Our staff tell us we’re a great place to work too, we have low staff turnover rates and high levels of staff satisfaction. If we sound like a good fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.
What you can expect from us - We care about your wellbeing so have a number of activities all year that provide support. However, time off is also important. You will be entitled to 40 days holiday, plus 8 Bank Holidays, plus an additional 5 shutdown days at Christmas and 2 ‘ME’ days (where you can have a day off work and do whatever makes you happy).
We have a substantial range of benefits available to all staff including paid time off for emergencies (designed to support carers) and all our policies are enhanced further than statutory requirements. The College also contributes to your pension at a minimum of 22.9% (we contribute more for people in the Local Government Pension Scheme).
South Staffordshire College is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community.
We are committed to PREVENT and safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and expect all staff to share this commitment.
This position is subject to an Enhanced DBS Disclosure with child and barred list check.
Key Dates to Note:
Closing date for applications is: Monday 10 March 2025
Final interviews to be held at the college: Wednesday 26 March 2025
