Introduction

As we build our ambitions within Thames Valley and nationally, the new Digital Technical Excellence College (Digital TEC) will play a central role in how we respond to the rapidly evolving digital and technology landscape. We are creating a Director role to provide clear, strategic leadership for Digital TEC, ensuring it delivers at pace, at scale and with real impact. This role will bring together employers, partners and educators to share a future-focused skills ecosystem, addressing critical digital skills gaps and creating high-quality opportunities that improve learner outcomes.

We are seeking an experienced senior leader with a successful track record in further or higher education, or the wider skills sector. You will bring proven experience of effective stakeholder and employer engagement, alongside a strong record of developing provision that meets local and regional skills needs. Knowledge of digital skills and disciplines would be beneficial, but more important is your ability to work across a broad range of provision, engage employers and support staff development to deliver leading provision.

This is a key appointment at a defining moment, offering the opportunity to lead a flagship initiative, influence regional workforce development and strengthen our position as a leader of digital skills, innovation and inclusive growth.

We have appointed FE Associates to support us with this crucial appointment. Contact Jo.Johnston@fea.co.uk to discuss the role before the closing date.
