Governor

Join the board of the Education Training Collective as a Governor and support this leading provider of further education to move to the next stage in their development, creating a strong and successful ‘One Etc.’

About the Education Training Collective

The Education Training Collective (the Etc.) is a leading group of vibrant colleges and training providers offering high quality education and training opportunities for learners, communities, and businesses in Teesside and across the UK.  We create opportunities for our students, communities, and businesses by raising aspirations, equipping people with the skills they need to get into work and to build rewarding careers, and solving the skills needs of industry and key growth sectors. We are driven by the twin missions of empowering learners from all backgrounds and communities to achieve their full potential, and enabling employers to find and develop the workforce they need to succeed and grow.

Role Description

The positive relationships between our Governors and leadership team have created a collegiate, challenging and supportive board culture that enables successful outcomes. Candidates must share this recognition of building positive relationships amongst the Board whilst offering a scrutinising and supportive approach. The candidates should be able to demonstrate their shared values with the Etc. group and express their commitment towards the group and student outcomes.

As we look to further strengthen the depth and diversity of thought and experience on our Board, we now seek to appoint an individual with experience of strategic leadership within a local employer. We welcome applications from those working in a range of sectors and industry backgrounds who share an interest in the passion for education, improving student outcomes and supporting local opportunity.

We ask our Board Members to commit to a four-year term of office. Appointed individuals will need to attend Corporation and Committee meetings throughout the year, as well as strategic planning, training, and development activities.

Whilst previous governance experience is welcomed, it is not essential. All new Governors will all be supported by our Director of Governance, with a comprehensive induction and training process and ongoing support thereafter.

Peridot Partners and Education Training Collective are, together, committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and our client expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references before any final offer can be made.
