Our purpose is clear: To help individuals, communities, and society flourish through education by raising aspirations and reducing inequality to create a sustainable future.

With approximately 2,000 staff members supporting more than 19,000 students and apprentices, The Bedford College Group is committed to fostering success and building prosperous futures. To achieve the ambitious goals outlined in our 2025 strategic plan, we are restructuring our Executive and Leadership Teams to better align with our vision and purpose. These new structures place the student at the heart of everything we do. They focus on enhancing curriculum planning and design to meet the needs of our communities whilst continuing to drive improvements in teaching, learning, and personal development.

We are embarking on a bold new chapter, one that we want you to be part of. We are seeking dynamic, forward-thinking leaders with a passion for innovation and excellence in education to fill three brand new roles on our Executive Team: Executive Director of Education, Executive Director of Student Experience and Inclusion and Chief Operating Officer, and a new role of Group Director of People on our Senior Leadership Team. These roles offer a unique opportunity to shape the future of education in and around the South East Midlands and are designed to empower students to achieve the best they can and stand out as they progress to the next stages of their lives.

“I am extremely proud to lead The Bedford College Group, an anchor institution dedicated to serving our local people, or communities and businesses. These new roles are central to achieving our purpose and represent an extraordinary opportunity to shape the future of education by enhancing our students’ experiences and enabling us to continue to deliver exceptional learning opportunities as well as strengthening our impact across the region. If you share our vision and commitment to excellence, I invite you to be part of our journey,” says Yiannis Koursis OBE, CEO of The Bedford College Group.

Rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent 2024 inspection, The Bedford College Group is made up of a diverse group of seven colleges. These include three leading further education colleges; Bedford College, Central Bedfordshire College and Tresham College. Our family of colleges also includes Shuttleworth College, a specialist provider of land-based education, and the National College for Motorsport, situated next to the iconic Silverstone Circuit. Additionally, we offer dedicated A Level provision through our two sixth forms, one in Bedford and one in Corby, and operate four community learning centres, ensuring relevant and accessible education for all local communities and their needs.

The ideal candidates will have a proven track record of driving organisational improvement and inspiring high-performing teams. They will be collaborative and skilled at navigating challenges while delivering impactful results. Most importantly, they will share our deep commitment to making a difference in the lives of students, staff, and the local communities we serve.
