Welcome to Kingston Maurward
Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College brings together two Further Education colleges to make one strong, responsive and ambitious organisation with the vision, resources and expertise to best support the evolving and growing skills demands in the region.
Located on the stunning Jurassic Coast and the beautiful Dorset countryside, our college campuses offer a diverse range of courses, training and CPD that cater to a wide array of interests, career paths and business needs.
Whilst our group name has changed to Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College, the individual campus names remain unchanged and will retain their important links to local communities.
The merger sees us creating a financially stronger, more sustainable and resilient group, focused on the best interests of students, staff and employers in the communities in which it serves. Delivering an enhanced quality of provision and curriculum offer, both colleges will provide greater learning opportunities and more progression routes, working closely with employers and organisations to support curriculum development and student employability.
We need staff who will move us to the next step as part of a forward-looking organisation, rooted in the landscape of Dorset, with staff who want to thrive and succeed in a progressive environment. Take a look at our vacancies and join us in our exciting future.
