About the Employer
Hartlepool College of Further Education
Hartlepool College of Further Education is an exceptional college and we can trace our history back to 1849 - we are 175 years old. In this time the College has built up a reputation as one of the country's leading providers of vocational and technical education and this has afforded us the opportunity to deliver our mission - Excellence in further and higher education to transform students' lives.
Staff are aware of the College's history and that is incumbent on us, as the current custodians of the College, to do all we can to ensure the foundations are laid for the next 175 years - and beyond. Times are exciting for the College with opportunities for further growth and development.
Currently, we have £7m of investment coming into the College from a wide variety of sources including two Town Deal projects with partner organisations. We moved into our current premises in 2011 and sit is an environment, which high on aspiration and a source of civic pride, helps us drive the high expectations we have of all our students.
High expectations and standards of behaviour are also expected off all staff as the College embraces a culture of improvement, growth and development. The College's curriculum is closely linked to the strategic economic priorities of the Tees Valley Combined Authority and North East Combined Authority.
We are proud of the work we do and feedback from students and employers is both a source of satisfaction and growth potential.
