Flexible working: We understand that life can be complex and so we encourage candidates and current colleagues to talk to us about flexible working options.

Feel free to talk to us about flexible working options during the recruitment process as there are various ways we might be able to support you.

We invest heavily in a recruitment policy and top class facilities to attract employees who will make the grade: Many of our College facilities are operating as commercial businesses alongside everyday teaching. This opens up a multitude of diverse job roles for our workforce.
