The appointed Governors will provide expertise in their area and ensure the collaboration of Governors is effective and of the highest standards, working as a coherent unit and in close partnership with the Management Team to achieve the College's strategy and objectives.

Together, the College Board will review the College's mission, consider strategic developments, systematically monitor the College and management performance, review and monitor the implementation of a range of college policies, and ensure compliance with statutory requirements at all times.

Bournemouth & Poole College is the largest provider of further education and apprenticeships in our area. Our core focus is on developing the work skills of our students, so that when they leave us, they are ready to start or progress within their chosen career. Our purpose is to help people improve their lives through education and training, and to enable employers to recruit and train the staff they need. Through inspiring teaching and learning, we develop our students' work skills, life skills and knowledge to build a thriving local economy and community.

This current campaign of recruitment is part of our succession planning strategy, and we hope to engage people who have the ambition and mindset to develop as governors and look to the future opportunity of Board Chair or Vice Chair. We seek to engage leaders and experts to support the Board in this journey, bringing a passion for success and recognition of the value of post‑16 education to society.

Governors are innovative and dynamic individuals who will share in the College's vision and help us deliver our ambitions. We are currently looking to recruit new Governors with experience in any of the following areas:

• Education – Curriculum & Quality
• Audit

Most importantly, we want people to join our Board who have an understanding and passion for what we do and why we do it. Education is a pivotal stage for every student, and as a Board, we have the ability to impact and influence the direction of the College for the benefit of future generations across the region.

Join Bournemouth & Poole College as a Governor on a dynamic Corporation Board and be part of their continued growth. This is a pivotal opportunity for strategic leaders who believe in the power of education to shape lives and strengthen the local economy.
