Our college environment is second to none. We boast industry-standard facilities and equipment, expert staff, and partnerships with other high-profile organisations which all prepare students for progression to higher education or successful careers. Furthermore, we make sure we're a step ahead when it comes to the skills and technology needed for the jobs of tomorrow, so that employers across the region - and nationally - know where to come to update their staff teams' skills and qualifications.
New City College's 7-college merger and our combined skills and expertise place us at the forefront of further education in the UK, spanning sixth form education, adult skills, apprenticeships, ESOL, EFL, and SEND. With a turnover of £130m, 20,000 students, and 2,000 staff, it is one of the strongest and most influential FE organisations in the country.
At New City College we're proud of our inclusive and diverse staff and student community. We are united in our zero-tolerance approach to racism and discrimination.

As the College supports a number of children and vulnerable adults, all staff are exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Accordingly, all staff will be subject to an 'Enhanced' DBS (formerly CRB) check, along with a Children's Barred List check if in regulated activity. Any offers of appointment may be withdrawn if these checks prove to be unsatisfactory to the College. Self-disclosure will be required as part of the recruitment process. If you fail to make a full disclosure or provide sight of your DBS certificate then your offer of employment is likely to be withdrawn. The College's DBS policy covers the recruitment of ex-offenders which is available upon request.
New City College aims to develop a workforce that reflects the diverse community we serve and actively welcomes applications from candidates from a BAME background.
