This role requires someone with the energy to attend careers conventions on an evening, and be back in school the following morning to deliver an engaging assembly as you are the public face of the college.

Demonstrating our College values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role is expected at all times.
Due to the nature of our work, it’s essential you’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
We believe learning is not just for our students: it’s an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers. You’ll also have access to a range of staff benefits including an employee assistance programme, retail and leisure discounts and reduced Metro travel.
We want people who believe in the value of education, and who can contribute to our culture of supporting and challenging one another.
