Who Are We?
Stratford-upon-Avon College merged with Solihull College and University Centre in February 2018. As a major institution of both further and higher educational provision in the West Midlands, our aim is simple – to make significant contributions to the local and regional economies and beyond, by providing high quality vocational education and training for individuals, employers and the wider community. As such, our provision is designed to be up to date, flexible, accessible and responsive to all our customers needs, serving approximately 8,000 students across three main campuses, several satellite centres and on work based programmes.
We have state of the art facilities and an excellent learning/working environment, including a sports complex, arts centre and specialist vocational workshops.
At present, we employ approximately 250 full time and proportional teaching staff within the main curriculum areas. We also employ approximately 300 administrative staff and approximately 220 part time teachers. We are proud of the open and friendly environment within our organisation. Solihull College will provide you with significant and exciting challenges and genuine career and development opportunities. Never have the challenges and opportunities within post compulsory education been greater. Ultimately it is our people, their drive, commitment and vision that will take us in the direction we want to go.

As part of this pledge, we guarantee that no one will be disadvantaged in our recruitment and selection practices because of their service background. We value the skills, experience and dedication that members of the Armed Forces community bring, and we actively encourage applications from veterans, reservists, and military families.
