Governor vacancies at South Thames Colleges Group

September 2023

About the opportunities

South Thames Colleges Group (STCG) is one of London’s largest providers of post-16 education and training and is an ongoing and significant contributor to its local communities. We aim to put students’ success at the heart of everything we do. STCG is keen to hear from people who are interested in becoming a governor and can contribute to the work of the Board. We are looking for hard-working and collaborative people to join our team and through their challenge and scrutiny help our students to progress and achieve.

STCG operates from four main College campuses located at Carshalton, Kingston, Merton and Wandsworth spread across four London Boroughs. STCG has established itself as one of the top Colleges in London having made impressive progress since its creation, and we are keen to continue making this progress.

The Corporation (Governing Body) is made up of individuals who are committed to education and training and volunteer their time and act in the best interests of the College and its learners. The role of a college governor is unremunerated (apart from reimbursement of expenses) but is extremely rewarding in terms of personal satisfaction. It provides the opportunity to help shape the strategic direction of STCG whilst ensuring that its educational provision meets the needs of the students and the wider community.

The Corporation operates as a non-executive Board and has specific responsibilities for overseeing the strategic direction of the College, its performance and financial health. Governors help to drive up the performance of the College by attending regular meetings and participating in active scrutiny and questioning.

Governor appointments are based on skills and an ability to contribute at strategic level. The Corporation has two immediate vacancies for Governors for the 2023-24 academic year.

Required Skills

Governors can bring a variety of skills, knowledge or experience from all walks of life. Governors should have an enthusiasm to contribute time and energy to help STCG to grow and continue with its commitment to success and should be committed to training and education. The role requires good interpersonal skills; the ability to work as a member of a team and to devote the necessary time commitment. Governors should be curious with an enquiring mind; able to challenge the status quo to improve things; collaborative to build strong relationships; critical to improve their own work and that of the board; and creative in problem solving and being innovative.

The Corporation is looking to fill two governor vacancies with governors from the business community local to the main college campuses in Wandsworth, Kingston , Merton and Carshalton.

Work / life experience from managing a local business, particularly experience of financial management and experience as a local employer will be particularly welcome. Professional qualifications such as audit, law, surveying, estate management, sustainability, HR, marketing, management skills or an education background are all very useful but not essential.

All governors must be prepared to adopt the principles of public life- selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership. Previous experience as a Governor, Trustee or Non-Executive Director would be helpful but not essential as induction and training support is available for all Governors.

South Thames Colleges Group is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. All governors are therefore required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

South Thames Colleges Group seeks to have a diverse Board and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

Working Arrangements

The role involves working as part of a team alongside other Governors to set the Group strategic direction and ensure the effective delivery of STCG’s Strategic Plan.

The time commitment is very approximately 10 days a year for reading meeting papers and attending Corporation and Committee Meetings, away days and training and networking events.

You will have the opportunity to teach a second subject area, developing your own practice with the necessary support to deliver consistently outstanding teaching. You will launch and continuously contribute to a creative music curriculum and enrichment offer underpinned by progressive pedagogies, in line with the national curriculum and a variety of formal qualifications, setting a true gold standard for learning.

You will be an integral part of a passionate, committed, and ground-breaking multidisciplinary team, working integratively towards improving the outcomes for children so often overlooked. Together, we will devise strategies to empower children to take ownership of their own learning journeys, so preparing them for successful transitions into the next phase of their journey. You will teach class sizes of 5 children, with the support of two additional staff to tailor learning support to each student, with access to specially designed education buildings with two brand new music studios, ICT suite and a teaching classroom.

As a champion of restorative practice, you will place relational connection at the heart of everything you do. Your work will be the driving force that enables children to transition out of Oasis Restore with the support in place for them to succeed in the next step of their journeys.

About the programme

Every neighbourhood deserves to feel safe with police officers they can trust. By joining our programme, you can help vulnerable communities rocked by injustice and plagued by crime.

Our National Graduate Leadership Programme is designed to develop your resilience, leadership and problem-solving abilities to equip you with the skills and knowledge required as a neighbourhood police officer. We will teach you everything you need to know about working with communities and local partners, to prevent crime, lead investigations, and proactively identify neighbourhood issues.

Your salary is paid from day one when you start our training academy. You will then spend two years embedded in a neighbourhood. This will give you the opportunity to become a visible leader in the community, engage with partners to support and safeguard the vulnerable and prevent those at risk of offending. Our programme prepares you to make a positive change and stop crime before it happens. There is no greater feeling than seeing the work you do impact someone’s life for the better.

We are looking for talented graduates from all degree disciplines. You don’t need any previous policing knowledge or experience to be successful in our programme.

For your ambitions, career goals, promotions.  For every brave new idea and the lives you’ll change. Become a neighbourhood police officer.

Training and development

Our award-winning training sets the foundation for a successful and transformative career in policing. Throughout the academy, you’ll have access to a performance and development coach who will support you to navigate a new career and maximise your potential. You'll also have the opportunity to apply for a secondment, which is a unique opportunity to develop skills and gain valuable experience working with external partners.

Career progression

Once you successfully complete the programme, you will be a fully warranted neighbourhood police officer with a permanent role in policing. You’ll also join our alumni network and have full access to our team, who are there to support your career in policing.

Many of our graduates have gone on to get promoted or taken the opportunity to move laterally into the wide variety of departments that are on offer in policing. Such as becoming a detective, joining Counter Terrorism teams, or working on policing priorities such as Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).

Eligibility

To apply for this programme, you must:

• be over 17 years of age or older on application, (and 18 by the time of appointment)
• be a British citizen, a citizen of a country that is a member of the European Economic Area or Switzerland, or a Commonwealth citizen or foreign national who is resident in the UK and has settled status or leave to remain and work without restrictions
• have been resident in the UK for the past three years (some exemptions allowed)
• not currently be registered as bankrupt (or have bankruptcy debts that have been discharged within the past three years)
• not have existing county court judgements outstanding against you
• not be a current or previous member of a proscribed terrorist organisation or group

Rewards and benefits

Salary

You can expect a starting salary of £36,775 increasing each year to £54,000 in seven years.

Leave

You’ll start with 22 days per year (on top of public holidays), rising to 30 days depending on your length of service. You can also expect other forms of leave including adoption, maternity and paternity.

Work-life balance

This is not your typical 9-5. Police officers work varied shift patterns which gives them flexibility and freedom to maximise their time outside of work. Different to your typical working week, you’ll often receive several days off in a row. It may take some time to adapt to shift pattern working, but once you do, you may find that the flexibility of the schedule allows you to better balance work and home life.

Pension

You’ll automatically be enrolled as a member of the Police Pension Scheme 2015, which awards police officers for their dedication and service to the public. It offers a generous and secure retirement package, providing officers with financial stability and peace of mind.

Free and discounted travel

Free London travel from the start of your training programme, including tubes and buses. You’ll also have access to heavily discounted rail travel for up to 70 miles from London.

Financial services discounts

There are various partner organisations who work alongside the police to offer a variety of financial services including saving, investment and protection products, as well as discounts and subsidies. Many major high street stores, retail outlets and other national organisations offer discounts and special deals to police officers. Most police forces also provide access to a number of subsidised leisure and sporting activities.

Application process

Throughout each stage of the application process, you'll learn more about the preventative and transformative role of neighbourhood policing:

• Online application, including proof of eligibility.
• Immersive assessment
• Assessment centre
• Conditional offer
• Pre-employment checks including fitness test, BMI, medical, references and vetting.
• Programme start date, July 2024

If you receive a conditional offer, you will have a dedicated Recruitment Officer who will support with your onboarding prior to starting the programme.
