Find a Further Education (FE) governor
If your college board has current or upcoming vacancies, we can help you find talented Further Education (FE) college governors.
With 25 years of experience in the sector and nearly 40,000 volunteers placed, we source people who can bring insight, challenge, and support to help your college thrive.
How can I access the FE Governor Recruitment Service?
There are two ways to access the service:
- Register your vacancy: We’re equipped to ensure all FE colleges have a diverse range of appropriately skilled and knowledgeable governors for strategic leadership roles. Simply submit a few details and a member of our further education team will reach out to you.
- By referring your college to the DfE: Some colleges will be eligible to access the service and recruit an FE governor for free (funded by the DfE). To find out if you are eligible and apply, please check the criteria set out on the DfE’s website. Please note: if you are not eligible, you’ll need to register your vacancy with us directly.
How does the FE Governor Recruitment Service work?
Whether you’ve been nominated by the DfE or registered your vacancy with us directly, we take the time to understand your college and the kind of expertise you’re looking for. Using a mix of targeted recruitment tools, sector networks, and direct headhunting, we identify potential governors who not only feel excited by Further Education but can bring the skills your board needs.
With the support of the DfE, our goal is to build strong, confident boards that promote high standards of governance and bring fresh thinking to the table.
Recruitment resources for colleges
If you would like to carry out your own governor recruitment drive in the first instance, we have prepared a host of resources to support your efforts. This includes social media content and information to share with prospective candidates.
Our eLearning resources, specifically designed for FE college governors, can also be used to create a smooth induction and onboarding process for any of your appointed candidates.
