As part of the senior leadership team, he will be responsible for developing the curriculum, leading departments and the safeguarding and student support teams.
Carol Thomas, the college’s principal and CEO, said: “Patrick comes to the college with a wealth of experience in further education.
“This new post will be key to driving forward the curriculum to ensure it meets the needs of the students and the local economy.
“There are some exciting opportunities as Coventry takes centre stage as the UK City of Culture this year, with the college acting as a partner, and we are looking forward to building on these.”
Patrick joins from Sandwell College, where he held the post of Vice Principal for Quality, Information and Curriculum.
Previous to that he worked at Birmingham Metropolitan College and Solihull College and University Centre in a senior leadership position.
