Deputy Head of & Information Technologies (Study Programmes)

Leeds City College is one of the UK’s largest FE establishments with around 1200 employees and over 35,000 students. Offering a diverse curriculum within a vibrant and multicultural learning environment, our goal is to deliver excellent and innovative education which supports and inspires every student to achieve their ambitions.

Leeds City College has embarked upon on an exciting and ambitious journey to achieve ‘Outstanding’ and is currently searching for a highly motivated, innovative, inspirational and student-focused Deputy Head to manage study programmes across the School of Digital & Information Technologies.

This is a fabulous opportunity to shape the future of this newly formed school and develop cutting-edge digital, computing and IT study programmes in the second largest digitally-centred city in the country.

Our managers work with few rules but clear boundaries and enjoy autonomy to independently lead and shape their school and actively contribute to wider college life. They place the quality of teaching, learning and the stakeholder experience at the heart of their decision making and provide first-class curriculum and business leadership. 

We are looking for an individual with experience of developing innovative technical and vocational curricula, who will embrace change, has a natural can-do attitude, will provide strong operational and developmental leadership and foster a culture which connects, engages and empowers our staff, student and employer family to grow, flourish and achieve outstanding outcomes.

If you have these very special qualities and the passion to make a real a difference to the future of our students and business, then we’d like to hear from you.
