Do you already hold an IAG or Careers qualification or would you be interested in completing a fully funded Level 4 Careers and IAG qualification and/or progressing onto a Level 6 Careers Adviser qualification?

We are looking for someone to join our Advice and Guidance team for a maternity cover fixed term contract.

Support for existing students will be in the form of drop-in appointments, presenting employability workshops and talks enabling students to succeed in the next stage of their development and supporting our Careers Advisers with any planned activities throughout the year. There is also involvement with the UCAS applications, assisting with personal statement writing, how to apply and making choices for next steps. The post will include some evening and weekend work throughout the year.

The ideal candidates will have experience of working in Advice and Guidance, have a background in education, an understanding of the local labour market and knowledge of the employability skills required for various roles and positions.
