Russell Marchant, vice-chancellor of Hartpury University and principal of Hartpury College, said: “We aim to provide a unique high-quality experience in a focused and supportive environment, challenging our learners in the pursuit of excellence.

“If you want to make a positive difference, are passionate about education and transforming lives, and want to become involved in the wider interests of Hartpury University and Hartpury College, we would be like to hear from you.”

Hartpury would particularly welcome applications from women, disabled and black and ethnic minority candidates as these groups are currently under-represented on their boards.
