Job Overview:
We are advertising an exciting opportunity at Ashcombe to support students in delivering
their career aspirations. Careers education has been a central part of Ashcombe School with
events such as the annual Careers Fair, the Apprenticeship Fair and our virtual careers
events attracting praise both regionally and nationally. The previous careers lead has had to
leave due to relocation, having developed an infrastructure of careers that has fulfilled all of
the Gatsby benchmarks.
We wish to build on these successes by appointing a new Careers Coordinator as soon as
possible. The position has four key aims:
* To coordinate and develop the whole school careers programme to ensure we
connect with as wide a group of young people as possible with particularly
reference to those students who are disadvantaged
* To support personalized guidance in Key Stage 4 so that we enable all of our students
to move onto the correct destination at 16
* To further develop the range of events and information sharing in school that will
help to inspire our future generations
* To support the expansion of the school's alumni and use these role models to
inspire the current Ashcombe students.
The post is a central part of our wider vision to ensure our young people leave school
prepared to live fulfilled lives in the 21st century. We are looking for a dynamic, inspiring,
creative and empathetic individual. The successful candidate will be able to connect with a
range of audiences both internally and externally, from students to experts in their
professional field. Above all else, the successful candidate will have an inner personal drive
to make a real difference to young people's lives by offering imaginative, informed and
personalised support.
