Troubled college to axe 75 jobs, say reports

Troubled West Nottinghamshire College is set to axe a futher 75 jobs, according to reports.

FEWeek says the redundancies will be made over the next four months.

The news comes after the college’s chief executive stepped down in October. Earlier this year it received a Financial Health Notice to Improve after requesting an extra £2.1 in funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency.

West Nottinghamshire College said earlier this year that it was having to let 100 staff go in order to make £2.7m worth of savings.

A spokesperson for the College told FEWeek: “The college is continuing to work on its recovery plan to resolve the significant financial issues that it faces.

“Unfortunately, this is likely to lead to a need to further reduce our staffing base. However, the detailed plans are still being finalised.

“Whatever staffing reductions the college makes, it is absolutely committed to protecting the excellent experience and high-quality teaching and learning that our students receive.”

Martin Sim was appointed interim chief executive in October.
