Your work will include one-to-one guidance, targeted group sessions, and leading high-profile activities such as careers fairs, employer masterclasses, and university visits. A key part of your role will be helping learners to build the skills and confidence they need for the workplace while also championing widening participation.

You will need to be confident engaging with groups of students, delivering in classroom settings, and representing the service in front of employers, universities, and other stakeholders.

• Design and coordinate engaging employability and enrichment activities that bring the world of work to life
• Work across a diverse community of learners, from school leavers to adult returners, including those with ESOL and SEND needs
• Be part of a forward-thinking team that values creativity, collaboration, and innovation
• If you are passionate about education, motivated by seeing learners succeed, and ready to help shape brighter futures, we would love to hear from you.

• Provide one-to-one careers guidance tailored to individual needs
• Deliver group sessions on HE pathways, apprenticeships, employability and enterprise
• Advise students on Student Finance and bursary support options

• Develop digital and print resources to support students’ career planning
• Work with curriculum teams to embed careers education and support CPD
