St Helens College is one of the largest colleges in the Northwest and we are committed to transforming lives through excellence in education and training. Serving communities in St Helens and Knowsley, the College is an anchor institution in the region, working closely with business and the public sector. We are on the cusp of a new strategic cycle and setting the direction of the College for the next five years. The Governing Board plays a vital role in setting this strategic direction, while monitoring performance, supporting the College and holding the executive to account. The Governing Board includes independent members, the Principal/CEO, staff governors and student governors. We are now seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Governors.

As a Governor, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the College, ensuring we continue to provide high-quality education and opportunities for our students. We are specifically looking for those who have senior experience in either finance or law and are keen to contribute to the strategic direction of a leading further education provider. This opportunity will also support the development of skills and opportunities for young people and adults, help you gain valuable experience in governance, leadership, and decision-making, working alongside a team of committed professionals from diverse backgrounds.

No previous governance experience is necessary, as training and support will be provided. What matters most is your commitment, enthusiasm, and ability to think strategically.
