Careers Adviser

Working as part of the Careers Development team, you'll provide impartial, confidential and personalised careers advice and guidance to learners across the College. You'll help students explore their options, make informed choices and prepare for the opportunities and challenges ahead. You will:

• Provide impartial, confidential and person-centred careers advice and guidance through individual and group sessions.
• Support learners with applications, including UCAS, personal statements, CVs and interview preparation.
• Provide up-to-date information on higher education, apprenticeships, employment and labour market opportunities.
• Contribute to careers fairs, employer talks, workshops, university events and work experience opportunities.
• Build effective relationships with employers, universities, training providers and community organisations.
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to monitoring learner destinations and outcomes.
• Support the development and evaluation of the College's careers programme in line with the Gatsby Benchmarks and Careers Strategy.
Why This Role Matters Every student has different ambitions, experiences and circumstances. Some know exactly where they want to go; others need support to discover what is possible. Your guidance can help them see opportunities they may not have considered, overcome uncertainty and take practical steps towards their goals. From helping a student secure their first job interview to supporting another with a university application, you'll make a difference at important moments in their journey. It's an opportunity to have a lasting impact on what students go on to achieve beyond College.

You will have experience of providing careers advice and guidance, ideally within an FE or other educational setting, and a good understanding of current progression routes, including higher education, apprenticeships and employment. You will be organised, approachable and confident communicating with young people from a range of backgrounds. You will also be able to work independently while contributing effectively as part of a wider team.

(Permanent, Full-time, Term Time Only - 40 weeks) Help Students Discover What's Possible Choosing what to do after college can feel like a big decision. For some students, the next step is clear; for others, knowing where to start can be much harder. The right advice, encouragement and support can make all the difference. We are looking for a Careers Adviser to join our Student Services team at Stanmore College. You'll work directly with learners, helping them explore their interests, recognise their strengths and make informed decisions about further study, apprenticeships and employment. Your guidance will help them turn their ambitions into realistic next steps and feel confident about their future. Join Us at an Exciting Time Stanmore College is entering a transformative period, supported by a £60 million redevelopment investment that will create a modern, sustainable campus for learners, staff and the wider community. As our College continues to develop, we remain focused on preparing learners for life beyond their studies. We want every student to leave with a clearer sense of direction, an understanding of the opportunities available to them and the confidence to take their next step. You'll play an important part in making that happen.
