Milton Keynes College Group was formed in 2021, with the mission of Building Fairer Futures. The College Group includes 1,200 colleagues who work across MK College, the South Central Institute of Technology (SCIoT) Bletchley, our prison education services in 30 prisons and MK Commercial which comprises The Brasserie restaurant, Sport Central, Courtside, and the Chaffron Centre.


At MK College, our colleagues support approximately 4,000 16-19 year olds currently studying with us and a total student population of over 8,000. Founded in 1982, MK College offers a broad variety of programmes, including Study Programmes, Adult, High Needs, Apprenticeships, T levels, A Levels, and Higher Education.


We are proud to have opened one of the biggest Institutes of Technology in the country. The South Central Institute of Technology (SCIoT) in Bletchley is a consortium of prestigious partners led by Milton Keynes College. We offer a hub of innovation and world-leading technological advancements with relentless dedication to future-proof the lives and skills of learners. 


The College is a national provider of education services in prisons across the country. For over 30 years, we have worked with offenders in both custody and the wider community and currently work with 30 prisons across England. This includes public sector prisons and the privately operated HMP Fosse Way.


Founded on the principle of Further Education’s ability to transform lives through learning, we’re proud to create an environment that attracts the best colleagues and students from Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas and supports education in prisons nationally.  The value we gain from the diverse communities we serve is immeasurable. We want all our colleagues, students and learners to feel they are an integral part of the College Group and together we will create an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute to College life and our collective knowledge and growth. 


We know that education has the power to build fairer futures for all, and we know that we can’t create real change on our own. That’s why we work with key stakeholders across our communities - civic partners, employers, educational providers and third-party organisations to offer the best opportunities for our students to be the best they can be. 


When applying for a role at the College Group, you can expect the same level of commitment towards diversity and inclusion as you’ll experience when you’ve started with us. We treat all our applicants fairly and with respect, irrespective of their background, disability or any other individual characteristic. We particularly encourage applications from people with backgrounds which are currently under-represented within Milton Keynes College Group. 


Milton Keynes College Group is a committed safer recruitment employer in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). We take extreme care in ensuring the safety and welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.  All offers made to successful candidates are subject to satisfactory outcomes from a range of pre-employment checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS).  In addition, security clearance is required for all prison services positions up to Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level.
