Interested in becoming a Governor at Craven College?
There are 20 serving members currently on our Corporation Board and Board members are viewed as "Non-executive Directors". Although there are no financial rewards, members get the opportunity to make an important contribution to a thriving college which is there to serve the local and wider community. The benefits of being a Board Member include working with a team of like-minded people from all walks of life, who collectively offer a broad range of skills, knowledge and experience.
There are also regular opportunities to take part in aspects of college life which may be of interest to individual Board members, for example, attending college events, such as the Celebration of Awards Evenings and College Fashion and Art Shows.
The Board is always keen to hear from individuals who feel they have the energy, commitment and potential to make a contribution, on a voluntary basis, to the continued success of the college through membership of its Board.
To help you decide whether it’s for you, these are some of the skills and qualities which make an effective Board member.
In support of its commitment to equality and diversity, the Board would also particularly like to encourage expressions of interest from women, minority ethnic groups and disabled people.
If you are interested in finding out more about joining our Board, please contact the Clerk, Joan Matthews, in the first instance, who will meet with you and provide you with further information, including the time commitments involved. She can be contacted at
