Dear Applicant

Senior Post-holder Position - Senior Management Executive

Thank you for your interest in this important job with Bournville College. I trust that you will find the information contained with this letter helpful in considering and formulating any application you may wish to make. Should you decide to make an application we would be delighted to receive it and you can rest assured that the Selection Panel appointed by the Corporation will give it full consideration.

You will be aware that this post incorporates the role of Clerk to the Corporation with all the statutory duties that involves. Additionally there are key roles in connection with compliance including management of the College's audit arrangements, data protection and freedom of information. Alongside this, and important in the delivery of the College's strategic and business objectives is the support to be given to the Principal and senior management team members. In further education generally we are in challenging times, no more so than at Bournville where we are also in the process of a new build, an exciting £66m campus at Longbridge, heralding the regeneration of an area which was badly hit by the closure of the MG Rover factory. Indeed the new College is located on part of that site.

The Corporation is looking for applicants able to demonstrate a record of success in the field of corporate governance preferably in the further education sector, together with other skills as referred to in the job description and person specification. Applicants will be aware that these roles require a range of skills including an understanding of the complex environment we are working in and the ability to manage pressures in a sensitive yet authoritative manner.

We look forward very much to receiving your application. Should you have any enquiries you wish to make in the meantime please contact Jo Johnston on 0207 034 9900 or email jo_johnston@aoc.co.uk

Yours sincerely,
