About Barnet and Southgate College
Barnet and Southgate College provides education and training to over 13,000 students, offering more than 30 subjects across four main campuses. Our college maintains a large and vibrant community that benefits our students by preparing them for progressing into the workplace, onto university, and/or further qualifications — ultimately raising aspirations and providing greater opportunities to students of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds.
Our college’s diverse environment offers an excellent opportunity to meet a wide range of people across our state-of-the-art campuses in Barnet and Southgate.
The College offers a broad range of full and part-time courses in A Levels, foundation degrees, technical and professional qualifications, vocational training, work skills training, apprenticeships, plus education and employment pathways for people with learning difficulties and disabilities.
Whether students are looking for a course to progress onto university, a specific job, or an apprenticeship, we recognise how important it is that our curriculum is aligned with the needs of our local economy. We work closely with strategic partners to adapt the content of courses to ensure it is relevant to employers and university progression.
About the role
We are a relatively large FE provider with an annual turnover approaching £52 million and with 600 staff. Our college has a bold ambition for growth and continuous improvement over the next few years. Coupled with the ever-present challenges facing our sector, our new governor is an important part of supporting this.
We hope that this new addition will help offer expertise and guidance whilst providing appropriate scrutiny and challenge to our senior leaders on key matters.
Who we are looking for
We are looking to engage an experienced senior leader, someone who can effectively support and challenge, have oversight of policy, monitor and evaluate performance, and ensure that safeguarding is part of the culture at the College, providing a safe and inclusive environment for all our students and staff.
As the Safeguarding lead governor, you will support the work of the Quality Teaching and Student Experience Committee. The college very much sees strong safeguarding arrangements as a key part of ensuring a great student experience.
You will be able to demonstrate a strong and visible passion and commitment to Barnet and Southgate College and our strategic priorities.
