Be a part of the future of education

If you have a passion for education and training then we’d welcome your application to join the team at a forward-thinking, innovative college group.

Education Partnership North East (EPNE) is a multi-award winning organisation with a track record of supporting communities and changing the lives of those who live and work across the North East.

The largest college group situated entirely in the North East of England, we are a dynamic partnership of three colleges – Sunderland College, Hartlepool Sixth Form and Northumberland College – and collectively we are one of the largest colleges in the country. Through our broad curriculum delivered over our five campuses (and multiple satellite delivery centres), we offer academic and technical programmes for young people, adult learning programmes (FE and HE), apprenticeships and provision for students with high needs.

The work of a Governor is enjoyable, challenging and rewarding. Governors are volunteers, coming from a variety of cultural and industry backgrounds. 

Our governors:

Attend meetings of the Board

Read papers in advance of meetings

Participate in discussions and debates

Gain experience through membership of Board committees

Participate in training events and attend social events, as required
