About the role
We want to engage a new Safeguarding Governor to join our non-executive governing body. Our expert Board, currently comprising 15 members, collectively monitors the progress and development of the College to ensure we achieve our strategic priorities. Our Governors come from various industries and backgrounds, including local authority, higher education, engineering, and financial services.
We will require you to be an expert in your field and ambitious for the College and its students, driven by our values – Resilience, Purpose, Passion, and Pride.
As Safeguarding Governor, you will work closely with Christina Hart, Executive Director for Student Services, and her team to provide support, scrutiny, and assurance and contribute to wider Governor responsibilities within the Governing Body Meetings.

You will be able to demonstrate a strong and visible passion and commitment to MidKent College and our strategic priorities.
It would be beneficial if you have experience of, or prior exposure to, a non-executive board and can recognise the key differentiators between strategic oversight and operational delivery.
You should also have knowledge of corporate governance and how fundamental it is to an organisation’s success and sustainability.
Across all of this, we need our Safeguarding Governor to devote the necessary time to the role. It is so important to us that you can take on this public duty for the benefit of tens of thousands of students who will study and train through us over the coming years ahead.
