To apply contact Gemma Halsey, Operations Director at gemma.halsey@vluk.org.
Job Description:
Are you interested in working to support students in one of the largest independent providers of 16-18 year-old full time study programmes in the country?
VLUK are experts at working within industry settings and specialise in programmes for both FE full time study programmes and the full range of HE provision across several specialisms including Sport, Performing Arts and Business.
If you want to make a difference to the lives of thousands of students then consider becoming a governor with VLUK.
You may have thought “I haven't got time to be a governor”, or “I cant attend meetings” well as a modern nationwide organisation you can! We hold meetings during the day and online!
On appointment, Governors sit on the full Governing Body and some Governors also sit on one of our Committees. We encourage all governors to take an interest in the organisation and would support you in making visits to our provision to see it working in in professional environments, Football and Rugby Clubs as well as Performing Arts Theatres.
Governors are unpaid, voluntary positions although appropriate expenses are payable.
VLUK is very aware that both new, and existing Governors, should have access to a full programme of training and support to enable them to discharge their responsibilities effectively and with confidence.
The Chair of Governors will take all new members through an induction process using nationally-devised materials.
VLUK seeks diversity in terms of the background of its Governors. There is an expectation that all prospective Governors would share the following characteristics:
- A real interest in education and training
- Skills and experience that will benefit VLUK
- A commitment to act as an advocate for the organisation and to act in the best interests of VLUK at all times
- A commitment to working with integrity, openness and honesty
We would welcome anyone who has an interest in our organisation but in particular those with expertise / interest in Teaching and Learning, Student Experience and Finance / HR.
