Writtle College Principal – Anglia Ruskin University

Nestled in the Essex countryside, our 150-hectare campus in Writtle features beautiful, landscaped gardens and state-of-the-art facilities. Our courses offer a gateway to success in specialised fields such as sport, agriculture, horticulture, animal studies, equine studies, conservation and floristry. As part of a global university, we are transforming lives through innovative, inclusive and entrepreneurial education and research.

We are seeking an exceptional leader from an FE background with a clear vision and direction to lead the College during a transformational stage of its journey. Following the successful merger earlier this year with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), this is a great opportunity for an incoming Principal to build on solid foundations to expand and develop our FE portfolio.

The successful candidate will be an inspirational leader with a proven track record in further education, capable of driving academic excellence and fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. You will work collaboratively with the university to create shared services to benefit staff, students and stakeholders to enhance our educational offerings and community impact.

We have appointed FE Associates to support us with this crucial appointment. Prior to submitting an application, interested parties are advised to arrange an initial conversation with our recruitment partner, by emailing Amanda.Hart@fea.co.uk, to discuss the role before the closing date.

Closing date: 9am on Tuesday 7 January 2025

Interview date: week commencing Monday 20 January 2025
