What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a passionate and highly effective Careers Advisor to start in September 2024, who will work within our team of staff providing for vulnerable young people.

This is a newly created position at the school and the successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the development, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of our careers offer to ensure it prepares and assists our students to assess their options and transition well into further education, training or employment.

The working hours are up to 22.5 hours per week (across three days) during term time. You will also be paid for an additional 22.5 hours per year, which enables you to attend team meetings and training and development outside of your normal working hours. This is a developmental role and the actual starting salary will be £15,826.13 per annum, rising upon completion of the level 6 apprenticeship standard.

What the school offers its staff

We offer specialist support for students with social, emotional and mental health needs and this sits at the centre of everything we do.

We are genuinely committed to our students and our staff and have a strong, supportive and dedicated staff team whose moto is ‘work hard and be nice to people’.

We are part of TEAL (The Education Alliance) Multi Academy Trust and together we share a common purpose:

“We are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives”

As well as a friendly and supportive environment, we offer a range of benefits including:

Access to our staff benefits platform which includes big brand discounts and other financial incentives including a cycle to work scheme offering discounted bike purchases
Family friendly policies and opportunities for flexible working, with a trust commitment to continually look to ways to improve the work-life balance for our staff
Membership of the East Riding Pension Scheme with benefits including secure earnings linked pension and a lump sum death grant of three times your salary
Well-being support including discounted East Riding gym membership; free annual flu vaccinations; refund of the cost of the annual NHS prescription prepayment certificate; access to a free employee assistance scheme 24/7 with advice on a wide range of practical issues ranging from legal information and consumer issues to specialist counselling.
Ethical leadership, professional trust and autonomy and a caring ethos in which everyone is valued and respected.
Fully funded and supported access to the Level 6 Career Professional apprenticeship standard

What are we looking for?

We are looking for an individual who is committed to ensuring every student receives the careers guidance they need to assess their options and make the best decisions they can for their future to ensure that they thrive and be the best they can be. The successful applicant will have a Level 4 qualification in a relevant subject area and be willing to undertake the Level 6 apprenticeship standard once in post, hold up to date knowledge of the National Careers Strategy and have demonstrable experience of implementing best practice in relation to careers and educational advice.

This role will involve working across both of our sites (Anlaby and Welton) and therefore a full driving licence or the ability to reliably travel between the two sites is essential.
