Madeleine King

Madeleine King’s area of focus is Higher Education delivered in a Further Education setting. She is a professionally-qualified Careers Officer who moved into Local Authority administration, where she worked as an Education Officer in a number of Local Education Authorities.

In 2002, Madeleine was seconded from her post as the Head of Education Strategic Planning and Lifelong Learning to the National office of the Learning and Skills Council, where she established the LSC’s Higher Education team. She worked with colleagues in the (then) DFES and HEFCE to develop the Aimhigher initiative and Lifelong Learning Networks and when her secondment ended, decided to remain in the FE/HE world rather than return to school-based administration.

Madeleine subsequently worked as a freelance consultant on a number of research projects before joining the Association of Colleges as their interim HE Policy Manager in August of 2009.
