Generally, we look for Governors with the following priority skills/expertise:

• Financial management expertise, particularly with specialism in FE.
• Audit knowledge and experience.
• Expertise in complex capital and infrastructure projects.
• Experience in marketing and strategic communications.
• Organisational culture and managing change.
• FE curriculum and quality expertise.

We are also interested in candidates with knowledge of the East Sussex area, ideally with an existing network in local industries and/or relationships with key community stakeholders.

What difference could you make?

There are a range of organisations and stakeholders with a personal, professional, civic or financial interest in the welfare and success of a college and its learners. We are very keen to have new members from the local business economy, the local public sector and the voluntary, community and social sector.

What's in it for the volunteer?

Being a Governor is an enriching, voluntary role, and this is a particularly exciting time to be involved with East Sussex College. As a Governor, you will make an invaluable contribution to the development of excellence at the College. As a member of the Board, you will help set the mission and strategic direction of the College, as well as scrutinise its performance. Volunteering as a Governor is a great way to contribute to your local community, meet new people and improve the lives of local young people. You will develop transferrable skills and learn more about the education system whilst putting existing skills and experience to good use!
