The primary responsibility is to implement our career readiness and employability framework curriculum for groups of students, developing their employability skills and preparing them for work experience placements aligned with their career aspirations and supporting their progression.
The role involves engaging with employers to secure diverse placement opportunities for the students including managing the work experience process through the Grofar placement system.

Along with current Maths and English skills, you will also demonstrate the ability to engage and develop students and role‑model the attributes that we develop within our learners. You will also need to be confident in a classroom setting, with the ability to engage learners while delivering material.
