The role
Following the successful appointment of an experienced careers professional, we are now looking for an additional Careers Advisor to join the wider careers team based at Wingfield Academy.
As a key member of our professional support services, you will provide careers guidance to our students. This will involve providing careers education, information, advice and guidance to students to support their choices and future educational/career aspirations and progression, liaising with internal and external providers when necessary.
We welcome applications from experienced and well-qualified individuals, as well as candidates who are willing to train towards the Level 6 Career Development Professional qualification. This can be accessed as an apprenticeship (funded by the Trust) and will take a minimum of two years to complete.
For those undertaking this role as an apprenticeship, and depending on their level of knowledge and experience, the post will initially be supported by our Senior Careers Lead and may be offered at a lower grade.
