Welcome to The Bedford College Group

The Bedford College Group was formed in 2017 following the merger of Bedford College and Tresham College and is now the largest provider of education in the South East Midlands, with over 15,000 students passing through our doors each year.

Today, the Group is made up of a family of colleges across Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire: Bedford College, Central Bedfordshire College and Tresham College in the towns of Bedford, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough; Shuttleworth College, a specialist land-based college; The Bedford Sixth Form, (the only dedicated sixth form in Bedford); The Corby Sixth Form, (opened in September 2023); and the National College for Motorsport alongside Silverstone race circuit. To widen accessibility to education and training, the Group also has community-based Learning Centres in Bedford, Corby and Kettering which offer IT training.

Bedford College is a great place to work. We are recognised as one of the best colleges in the country – both in educational excellence and as an employer.

We believe everyone here has a part to play in doing all we can to further the success of our students and we value each and every member of staff. In return, they become part of a passionate and friendly team and receive fantastic benefits. We are a values-driven organisation and we have our core values that underpin all we do and put the student at the heart.

As an employer, we recruit people who empathise with, and can deliver, our values and who can work proactively to maintain our outstanding status.
