We are looking for a level 6 qualified Careers Guidance specialist to join our well-established Careers Advice service at Nottingham College. We will also consider an individual who is currently undertaking this qualification, should they meet the other essential criteria as below.

Working as part of the Nottingham college careers team, we believe that every individual deserves the chance to pursue their dreams. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional guidance and support, helping clients navigate their career paths with confidence and clarity.

If you’re ready to embark on a rewarding journey where you can inspire and empower others on their next steps in education, training, or employment, we want to hear from you!

You will work alongside a passionate team of careers professionals who share your commitment to making a difference. Along the way, you can have access to ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance your skills and advance your career.

You should be an experienced, motivational, enthusiastic, and flexible Careers Adviser who can support the delivery of our college careers strategy, enable services to meet the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks, and work collaboratively with colleagues across the college curriculum and professional service teams to retain our quality assurance standard through Matrix.

In this high-paced role, you should enjoy working with a wide range of students to support and guide them to navigate their way through a range of careers education experiences and support their progression into higher education and through to employment. You should have a broad range of experience working with young people and adults across all levels of education, both 1:1 and in group settings to deliver careers guidance.

In this role, you will deliver services face to face on any of our campuses; telephone and/or virtual delivery through Teams will be available to suit the needs of your clients. You will also engage and make use of digital platforms to ensure the service reaches the maximum number of clients.

You will work closely with curriculum managers, heads of student experience, personal development leads, and the college Careers Leader to create inspiring careers education activities, including “careers events” for students, ensuring that they meet individual needs and aspirations. You should have a real passion for providing a high-quality careers guidance service; some experience of working with vulnerable learners and learners with SEN would be advantageous to support transitions into further study or work.

You will be expected to design and deliver high-quality group sessions to a wide range of clients and have detailed knowledge of relevant developments in careers education and up-to-date knowledge of local labour markets and issues relating to learning and employment.

Please demonstrate clearly on your application form how you meet the criteria detailed in the person specification.
