Chair of Finance and Resources Committee

Apply your professional expertise in finance and resources to help Capel Manor College navigate new challenges and opportunities as London’s only environmental college.

Applications close at 9 a.m. Wednesday 12th March.

Who we are.

Capel Manor College has five campuses across the capital: Enfield, Crystal Palace Park, Gunnersbury Park, Mottingham and Regent’s Park.

As London’s only environmental college, they proudly play a vital role in the capital’s green agenda. By delivering qualifications and work experiences that land-based employers value, the College helps shape the future of the developing workforce.

The natural world is changing, and Capel Manor College is uniquely placed to help tackle some of the key challenges in environmental issues, climate change, sustainability, air quality, waste and food security.

About the role.

How the College is governed is a matter of great importance, affecting the quality of its services, public confidence in its activities, financial security and the legality of its business. 

Governors recognise the importance of clarity in identifying their roles and responsibilities and differentiating them from the roles and responsibilities of college management while also recognising the key interactions between the two.

Governors will ensure that all members observe a Code of Conduct and participate in a Register of Interests to ensure an honest, transparent and understandable system of working.

Who we are looking for.

The College Board is seeking to appoint a new Chair of the Finance & Resources Committee. Applications from qualified financial leaders are welcomed, and candidates with a range of professional experience in education, the public sector, charities and other corporate entities can also apply.

Alongside a professional background, candidates will need to share the College’s core values and appreciate our impact on students, employers and local communities. Furthermore, candidates will have the appropriate professional expertise to support the College’s leadership team, especially those who focus on finance and resources.

Given the leadership nature of this role, it is expected that candidates will have previous experience sitting on or reporting to a Board and be equipped with the skills and understanding of the expectations, processes, and procedures that come with leading a committee.

As a Committee Chair and Governor, there will be a requirement to travel between campuses for Board and Committee Meetings.

Peridot Partners and Capel Manor College are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and our client expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references before any final offer can be made.
