Our goal is to prepare all of our students for the world of work, both now and in years to come.

This offers them an enhanced learning experience, one which better prepares them for their chosen employment and careers.

This key, proactive role within our leadership group will lead the development, implementation and management of BMet’s IT strategy, providing IT and communications infrastructure to maximise the effectiveness of teaching and learning, and across business operations. This strategy will be key to our aim of becoming the most exciting college in the region, providing an inspirational environment for students and securing outstanding outcomes for all.

The successful candidate will have proven success in the design, lead and delivery of major systems and technology projects and programmes and strong understanding of the governance, management and regulatory compliance for information systems, including technical standards, contract management and internal customer support services.

At BMet we are hugely ambitious for our learners and the employers and economies we serve. Our staff and governors are committed to a relentless focus on quality and continuous improvement to further drive up standards and deliver even greater success. If you have the commitment and drive to take on a proactive, senior leadership role and have proven success in implementing business led, technology based transformation programmes in a complex setting then we’d welcome your application.
