We are a rural 6th form college. The vast majority of our c2200 students are doing level 3 programmes, mainly A Levels. We have approximately 350 staff including managers, lecturers and a wide array of support staff.

You would be joining a top performing college & much of this success is down to the fact that we have been very clear about where we wanted to go, have strong values and a well embedded ‘Ciren Way’ of going about things, and a group of staff capable of achieving excellence. We have a strong tradition of sharing good practice at the College.

The job-specification provides a long list of the skills and experience we are looking for, but above all we need someone absolutely committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for students and with the energy, drive and clarity of mind to help us achieve them.

In terms of a work setting, both the college & the Cotswolds in general, are impressive. The campus itself has seen considerable investment in new buildings. It is situated on the edge of town, adjacent to the Bathurst Estate. The grounds of the Estate stretch for miles, with many staff using these to unwind, whether this be for a spot of lunch, a lunchtime stroll or a post-work run.

In summary, as a college we are passionate about helping students become the best they can be in whatever they choose to pursue.
