Are you an aspiring leader with a demonstrable track record of driving teaching excellence and student success for learners and leading on student engagement within the HE or FE sectors and the ability to drive innovation and excellence?

Would the challenge of developing and embedding a consolidated teaching and learning strategy and driving up continuation and completion rates within a unique, vibrant, entrepreneurial College in the City of London excite you?
