Join our Board of Governors and Help to Transform Lives
What do Governors do?
Governors play a key role in the life of Runshaw College. They operate at a strategic level and determine the educational character and mission of the college and approve and monitor our comprehensive Strategic Plan and annual budget.
What skills and experience are required?
Governor appointments are made with a view to maintaining the Corporation’s wide range of skills and backgrounds. We would ideally like to hear from you if you have some or all of the following:
- high level strategic management experience;
- financial management skills, including risk management and a knowledge of audit;
- HR skills;
- awareness of the wider environment in which the college operates (stakeholders include employers, other education sectors and the wider community served by the college);
- a team based approach to work;
- a strong commitment to the college.
What will being a Governor involve?
The time commitment is not burdensome. Typically you will attend eight meetings per year (Corporation and Committees), each lasting about two hours. The majority of meetings are held in the early evening, with some afternoon Committee meetings.
Attendance is crucial. Governors are expected to achieve a minimum 80% attendance target.
