Preston College is a technical, specialist college, rated Good by Ofsted, taking great pride in supporting all of our students to achieve the qualifications and outcomes they need, alongside the skills, knowledge and experience that employers and universities are looking for. In short, it’s our mission to inspire, educate and support our diverse community to reach its potential.
Our established partnerships with local employers ensure that our courses are both relevant and of high quality. Our sector specialist, experienced staff and industry standard facilities make the college an exciting and enjoyable place to be, all delivered in a supportive and caring environment.
The role of the College’s Board includes collective oversight of the College’s activities and setting and reviewing our strategy and mission. The governor role is comparable with the non-executive directors of a public company but instead of being accountable to shareholders, governors are accountable for public funds. As the College is an exempt charity, all governors are charity trustees.
Candidates are shortlisted and then invited to interview. The interview questions are based on the person specification for the role. Interviews are held periodically throughout the year.
