Principal

Nestled in the Essex countryside, our client’s 150-hectare campus features beautiful, landscaped gardens and state-of-the-art facilities. Their courses offer a gateway to success in specialised fields such as sport, agriculture, horticulture, animal studies, equine studies, conservation and floristry. As part of a global university, the College are transforming lives through innovative, inclusive and entrepreneurial education and research.

Our client is seeking an exceptional leader from an FE background with a clear vision and direction to lead the College during a transformational stage of its journey. Following a successful merger earlier this year, this is a great opportunity for an incoming Principal to build on solid foundations to expand and develop our client’s FE portfolio.

The successful candidate will be an inspirational leader with a proven track record in further education, capable of driving academic excellence and fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. You will work collaboratively with the university to create shared services to benefit staff, students and stakeholders to enhance our client’s educational offerings and community impact.

Our client has appointed FE Associates to support them with this crucial appointment. Prior to submitting an application, interested parties are advised to arrange an initial conversation by emailing Amanda.Hart@fea.co.uk, to discuss the role before the closing date.
