Peter Mayhew-Smith CBE never set out to become a college leader. What started with teaching literacy and supporting people in his local community turned into a career spanning almost 40 years in further education. Today, he's Group Principal and Chief Executive of South Thames Colleges Group, having helped guide colleges through financial challenges, major mergers and significant changes across the sector.
In this episode of Inspiring Working Lives, Peter joins Dan Taylor to look back on his journey from the classroom to senior leadership, the difficult decisions he's had to make and why giving people a second chance through education has always mattered to him. They also discuss the growing importance of student mental health, creating a supportive college environment and what it really takes to lead when things don't go to plan.
