Welcome from James Staniforth, Principal and Chief Executive Officer of Shrewsbury College

Thank you for your interest in Shrewsbury College. We have developed this resource to provide job applicants with information about the college, our values and aims, which we hope you will find useful and informative.
We are delighted that Shrewsbury College has been named among the Sunday Times Top Ten Best Big Places to Work in 2026. We are thrilled that Ofsted and the Sunday Times consider Shrewsbury College an outstanding place to work as well as to study.

One of our strategic goals is to create a strong culture and reputation. We aim to provide a supportive and challenging environment that motivates all our staff, while ensuring opportunities for training, development, and role expansion or promotion. We encourage our staff to innovate and share best practices for the benefit of our students, and we ensure that all staff success is valued and recognised.

We are a college that is large enough to have a high impact and profile, but small enough to sustain our commitment to the community and individuals. Whilst being rooted in our locality, the college has a national outlook in the reach and impact of our education offering and provision for the people of Shropshire and wider afield.

The college has ambitious plans for our future growth and development. Therefore, if you believe you have the experience and qualities to help us achieve our aspirations during our ongoing period of development and growth, I hope you will submit your application. Details of all our current vacancies can be found below, along with a video highlighting what it's like to work at Shrewsbury College.
