Head of Improving Learning

New College Durham’s vision is to be recognised as  a leading provider of further and higher education.  Not just in the North East region, but nationally and  internationally. We aim to change lives for the better by  enabling people of all abilities to fulfil their potential  through high quality education. 

We’re outstanding. We have been since 2009. Our  achievement rates make us one of the best performing  colleges nationally. The latest national achievement  rates tables place us in the top 10% of UK colleges for  level 3 achievement.  

We’re an Institute of Technology. One of only 12 in  the country. Our new £8m IoT centre ensures we have  world-class facilities for teaching science, technology,  engineering and maths subjects. The purpose-built  centre allows us to focus on the specific skills that  today’s employers need, helping to bridge a vital skills  gap in our economy.  

We embrace the new. New is in our name and in  our thinking. We welcome new developments,  new partnerships and new enterprises to ensure we  maintain our place at the forefront of educational  innovation.  The college has a bright and exciting future. We’d love  you to be part of it.

When you join NCD you’ll become part of a dedicated  team that plays a vital role in helping to make a  difference to over 5000 students a year. 

You’ll enjoy working in a bright modern environment  with a diverse mix of people from a range of different  backgrounds. We offer competitive salaries, generous  annual leave and free parking.  

Our flexible benefits scheme allows you to select the  benefits that suit you best. You can choose from a  range of exciting offers including buying additional  holiday, Cycle2Work scheme, gym membership and  retail vouchers.  

At NCD we value our employees and the contribution  they make. We understand the importance of  Continuing Professional Development so provide a  range of learning and development opportunities.  These include dedicated staff development days and  an annual staff conference. We want our employees  to achieve their career goals so will support you with  progression whenever possible.
