Aston Education is working with an oversubscribed Ofsted Good 11-18 secondary school in Bexley looking for a full-time Careers and Admissions Manager.

The main purpose of the Careers and Admissions manager role is to provide the students with impartial and valuable Careers and university guidance to ensure that the Academy is fully compliant with the Gatsby Benchmarks and that students refrain from being "not in education, employment or training" (NEETs) when they leave school at the end of Year 11 or Year 13.

This will involve meeting with students one-to-one to provide careers guidance, organising work experience for all students in the Sixth Form and developing the existing careers programme within the school across Y7-12.

You will be an integral part of the Sixth Form Team working closely with the Head of Sixth Form, and leading the UCAS process helping the students achieve places in Further Education.

You will collaborate closely with colleagues across the Trust, engaging with a diverse range of employers, and supporting students from all backgrounds and across the age range 11-18.

You will also take a lead responsibility for managing the admissions process from KS4-5.

The school is seeking a talented individual who can harness their expertise to help our students achieve their career goals. Ideally, you will be Level 6 qualified in Careers Guidance. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed professional with a proven track record of collaborating with external stakeholders and offering valuable insights and analysis in careers.

This role is based on-site, and hybrid working is not available.

This is a vibrant school and it's part of a respected Multi-Academy Trust. They offer a range of excellent benefits including Local Government Pension Scheme and exceptional CPD.
