Job Introduction
The successful candidate will provide impartial careers guidance to students through one-to-one interviews, group sessions and careers events, supporting them to explore education, training and employment pathways and make informed decisions about their future. The role includes supporting students with progression planning, including CV writing, applications and interview preparation, as well as maintaining accurate records and providing administrative support for work experience and careers programmes.
Candidates must be confident in building positive relationships with young people, communicating effectively with parents, staff and external partners, and handling sensitive information with professionalism and discretion. A good standard of computer skills and the capacity to prioritise competing demands are essential for this post.
As a vibrant school of just over 1,000 pupils with a thriving academic Sixth Form, Saint Cecilia's is also a caring Christian community, and together with a close-knit team of dedicated teaching and support staff, has achieved excellent academic success. Whilst candidates must be in sympathy with the aims of a Church of England School, a Christian commitment is not essential.
Located close to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, Saint Cecilia's is well connected to central London and the West End, as well as the tranquil Surrey countryside, by exceptional transport links. The nearest underground station is Southfields (District line Zone 3 and less than a five-minute walk), which is only five minutes from Wimbledon station and 16 minutes from Earls Court. The area is well served by numerous bus connections to Clapham Junction and Richmond.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check. Please note we do not accept CVs and do not provide visa sponsorship.
