West London College is a Further Education college with three centres located in Ealing, Hammersmith and Southall. For nearly 150 years, we have been providing training and development in the area, helping over 10,000 students achieve their career goals each year.

We are seeking a highly experienced and competent leader to join us as Assistant Principal Curriculum. You will work within our core values of ambition, accountability, collaboration, inclusion and innovation to lead developments that will position us well for the future. Reporting directly to the Deputy Principal Curriculum & Quality, you will be instrumental in championing our values of inclusion and diversity across the organisation.

Dear colleague,

Thank you for your interest in the role of Assistant Principal Curriculum with us here at West London College.

This senior role is crucial to the achievement of our strategic aims and objectives and to building on our position as an important anchor institution within the boroughs we serve.

I very much hope the information we have provided gives you a sense of the role, the college and our requirements.

At West London College, we have a simple yet powerful vision and that is to be a vibrant, innovative, diverse and sustainable college empowering learners to succeed and positively impact society.

Our mission is aiming high, changing lives. We already have an excellent track record of working collaboratively with employers, employer-representative bodies, educational partners and other key stakeholders to ensure our provision is responsive to skills needs and we are recognised as leading much of this work across the sub-region.

In order to realise our vision, we want to provide our learners and staff with the best studying and working environments we can to support them to be successful.

Consequently, we are now looking for a highly experienced and competent leader who can continue and build upon our work so far.

In this role you will work within our core values of ambition, accountability, collaboration, inclusion and innovation to lead developments which will position us well for the future.

We are a highly diverse and inclusive organisation. Over 70% of our staff and learners are from ethnic minority backgrounds, our education and training is accessible to everyone, including those with learning difficulties and disabilities, and we actively pursue agendas that advance equality of opportunity for all.

We need our new Assistant Principal Curriculum to not only be completely aligned to our values around inclusion and diversity, but to join the College’s senior leaders in championing these across the whole organisation.

Whilst this is a challenging role, it provides a fantastic opportunity to be part of transforming an organisation with a strong social purpose – an organisation where the tangible impact of what we do can be seen on a daily basis. In this role, you will report directly to the Deputy Principal Curriculum & Quality.

We have appointed FE Associates to support us with this important appointment. Prior to submitting an application, interested parties are advised to arrange an initial conversation with our recruitment partner, by emailing [email protected], to discuss the role before the closing date.

I very much hope you recognise the opportunity this role provides to impact on the lives of a significant number of staff and learners. If you feel you share our desire and determination to achieve our vison and mission, I look forward to receiving your application.

Yours faithfully

Karen Redhead OBE
Chief Executive and Principal
