Current vacancies
Abingdon & Witney Corporation Board is keen to hear from people interested in its work. At present, recruitment of an FE specialist is a priority. If that is you, please contact the Clerk to the Corporation Governors, Laura Grainger, email laura.grainger@abingdon-witney.ac.uk
The Board meets typically four times a year (October, December, March, late June/early July). An FE specialist would join the Curriculum, Quality and Students Committee, which meets termly. Governors also have opportunities to engage with the College through a variety of other activities.
The Board is keen to recruit the best possible range of skills and experience, and a demographically and cognitively diverse membership, in order to fulfil its strategic role. The Board conforms to the College’s aim to be an Equal Opportunities Employer.
