This is an exceptional opportunity to lead a college that sits at the very heart of the beautiful, ambitious city and wider region of Perth and Kinross.

We are incredibly proud of our highly dedicated staff and the genuinely positive culture they have cultivated, ensuring high-quality teaching and a supportive student experience.

The Board is deeply committed to supporting the incoming Principal. We operate as a highly cohesive unit, providing robust strategic oversight, clear governance, and partnership working to ensure the college continues its trajectory of excellence within the University of the Highlands and Islands partnership.

We seek a visionary leader who will build on this strong foundation, further enhancing our reputation and driving forward our strategic goals. If you are ready to embrace the challenges and rewards of leading an ambitious college in a thriving community, we look forward to reviewing your application.
