• Help students explore their interests, skills and aspirations to make informed and realistic decisions.
• Work in line with the Gatsby Benchmarks and CDI Framework, contributing to a whole-school and multi-agency approach to careers education and transition planning.
• Contribute to the ongoing development and continuous improvement of the service.

What we’re looking for

• Level 6 Career Guidance qualification (or currently working towards this).
• Experience of delivering services that support positive outcomes for young people in education or similar settings.
• Strong knowledge of post-16 and post-18 pathways and current best practice.
• Experience of working with young people with SEN/SEND.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships.
• A commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and supporting all young people to succeed.
• Be part of a highly supportive and established careers team that values collaboration.
• Experience high levels of job satisfaction through meaningful, direct work with young people.
• Make a genuine impact – helping students build their futures and achieve their potential.

• Experience high levels of job satisfaction through meaningful, direct work with young people.
• Make a genuine impact – helping students build their futures and achieve their potential.
• Access to Health Assured's comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 telephone support, a suite of online resources, and legal and financial advice.
