We are seeking an exceptional leader to become our Director of Quality and Innovation, a pivotal role at the heart of our college’s transformation. This is your opportunity to lead on quality improvement and innovation across Further Education, Higher Education, and Apprenticeships, ensuring our provision is not only inspection-ready but sector-leading and future-focused.

The Director will champion creative approaches to curriculum design, delivery, assessment, and the use of emerging technologies to enhance teaching, learning, and improve learner outcomes.

Working collaboratively with curriculum leaders, the Director will promote a culture of innovation, evidence-informed practice and continuous enhancement, ensuring the College remains at the forefront of sector developments and provides outstanding learner experiences.

As Ofsted Deputy Nominee and a key member of the senior leadership team, you will drive excellence in quality assurance, continuous improvement, and innovation embedding a culture where every learner thrives and every staff member is empowered to excel.

Be the Catalyst for Excellence

This is more than a leadership role it’s a chance to leave a legacy. You will influence every corner of our provision, championing innovation, digital capability, and inclusive practice.

If you are a strategic thinker, a collaborative leader, and a passionate advocate for transformational change, we invite you to join us. Together, we will build a future where quality and innovation are not just priorities, they’re our signature.

Provide strategic accountability for Higher Education quality, working in partnership with the Heads of School and HE Quality Manager to meet QAA, OfS, and validating partner university expectations.
Lead elements of the College’s CPD strategy related to teaching and learning, curriculum innovation, digital capability, and quality, diversity and inclusion, ensuring alignment with wider organisational development.
Champion the student experience across FE, HE, and apprenticeships, ensuring feedback and data lead to continuous and rapid improvement.

About You

We are looking for a dynamic and resilient leader with:

Degree-level education and a professional teaching qualification.
A proven track record of leading quality assurance and improvement in FE, HE, or apprenticeships.
Experience of working with Ofsted and/or QAA frameworks.
Strong understanding of QAA, OfS, and awarding body requirements.
Experience of designing and leading professional development strategies in teaching, learning, and digital innovation.
Excellent communication, people management, and cross-college influencing skills.
A passion for equality, diversity, inclusion, and above all, for improving student experience and outcomes.

Why Join Us?

This is an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact on the quality and innovation agenda of a forward-thinking College. You will work at a strategic level, influencing across all areas of provision, while fostering creativity, digital capability, and continuous improvement.

If you are a visionary leader who thrives on driving excellence and inspiring innovation, we would love to hear from you.
