Jamie Stevenson, former Group Executive Director for Apprenticeships and Business Development at New City College will take up the position from 10 August.

As Principal, Jamie will be responsible for promoting an inclusive, supportive and collaborative culture that inspires and empowers, creating a college with exceptional outcomes, impactful external engagement and demonstrable civic commitment.

Jamie will bring more than 20 years of experience to the role and has spent the past 13 years in senior management roles in FE colleges in Hertfordshire and London.

In his most recent role at New City College, Jamie has led the Strategic Development Fund for Central London Forward sub-region, securing funding of £2.7 million for the sector.

Jamie commented: "I am delighted to be joining the team at Lewisham College and NCG. I look forward to working with the team to ensure we continue to be responsive to our local communities, employers and stakeholders, developing curriculum and training that enables individuals the best life chances and ensuring employers have the skills required today and for tomorrow's economy."

Lewisham College is one of NCG’s six further education colleges, offering a wide range of vocational courses. As a community college, its vision is to develop the skills and talents of its students to succeed in modern enterprise and make a positive contribution to the prosperity of the local area, and its curriculum is developed in partnership with industry to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

As part of NCG, the College also supports its mission to enable social mobility and economic prosperity through exceptional education.
