Be the Driving Force Behind one of the UK’s Most Digitally Ambitious Colleges

Middlesbrough College is looking for an exceptional digital leader to shape the future of technology across a thriving, high‑performing organisation. As a Microsoft Showcase College, we are nationally recognised for pushing the boundaries of cloud, data, and AI to transform teaching, learning, and business operations. Now, we are seeking a Head of IT who can turn this ambition into reality every single day.

This is your opportunity to lead a modern, cloud‑first, security‑driven IT service that supports more than 16,000 users and underpins every aspect of College life. You will work at the heart of a digitally progressive organisation, reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer and playing a pivotal role in delivering our next phase of transformation.

This is your chance to lead IT in an organisation where digital is not an afterthought, it is a strategic priority.

Why This Role Matters:

The Head of Digital Services will provide strategic and operational leadership across all IT services, from infrastructure and networks to service operations, systems, cyber security, and project delivery. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, build a culture of service excellence, and ensure our digital environment is reliable, secure, scalable, and relentlessly customer‑focused.

A secure, resilient, cloud‑first infrastructure aligned to our Digital Strategy
Cyber security, data protection, and compliance across all systems and services
Planning, prioritisation, and delivery of digital and IT projects
Service performance management through metrics, SLAs, and continuous improvement
Full lifecycle management of IT assets, procurement, and resource optimisation
Strong, proactive relationships with curriculum and professional service teams
Major incident leadership, escalation management, and clear communication
Contribution to governance, risk, audit, and strategic digital initiatives

What We Are Looking For:

A leader who is:

Strategic, with the ability to translate digital ambition into operational excellence
Technically strong, with deep understanding of cloud, networks, systems, and cyber security
People‑centred, building high‑performing teams with a strong service ethos
Forward‑thinking, driving innovation, automation, and continuous improvement
Calm under pressure, able to lead major incidents with clarity and authority
Collaborative, working across the College to improve outcomes and productivity

Safeguarding Our Students

Middlesbrough College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all students. All staff are expected to share this commitment. If you’re successful, you’ll be required to complete thorough pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. All roles within the College carry safeguarding responsibilities, including promoting student welfare, reporting any concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), and modelling safe and appropriate conduct in line with College policies.

All posts at Middlesbrough College involve regulated activity and are therefore exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (amended 2013 and 2020) mean that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. The MOJ’s guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975, provides information about which convictions must be declared during job applications, related exceptions and further information.

Please be aware that it is a Criminal offence to apply for this post if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity in connection to children.

As part of our shortlisting process, we will conduct an online search for all shortlisted candidates to identify any safeguarding or reputation‑related concerns (as required by KCSIE).

Right to Work

Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Recruitment Process

Applications are shortlisted for interview as they are received, and so early application is encouraged. We reserve the right to commence the interview process and close the vacancy prior to this date.

Equality & Diversity

Middlesbrough College is an equal opportunities employer, committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is valued. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and make recruitment decisions based on skills and experience. As a Disability Confident employer, we actively support applicants with disabilities
