We are looking for an outstanding individual who will relish the opportunity to:
- Lead CEIAG across our two secondary schools
- Further improve the already excellent careers provision
- Work with like-minded colleagues who believe in the power of education to transform lives
- Contribute to the further development of a high-performing careers team, the school, and Twynham Learning
