We have one role based at our Watford and Hemel Hempstead Campuses, and the second role based at our Barnfield Campus in Luton.



We are looking for an enthusiastic, student-focused individual who is passionate about guiding learners towards their future goals. If you are someone who is resilient and able to build positive relationships with both internal and external stakeholders with a commitment to maintaining a student focused provision, then we welcome your application.



You will play a vital role in helping students make informed decisions about their next steps, whether that's university, apprenticeships, employment, or further training.

Experience of working with young people in an educational setting and knowledge of careers education frameworks such as the Gatsby Benchmarks or Matrix Standard would be highly advantageous.



You will be supported by a high performing team and will work closely with colleagues across curriculum areas, as well as with employers, universities, and community partners to bring careers education to life. Training and development opportunities are embedded in our culture, and you will be encouraged to grow your skills and innovate in your delivery.



These roles will be 37 hours per week.

The closing date for applications is Friday 31

st

October 2025. The successful candidates will join our team from January 2026.
