About the Post

Are you passionate about guiding young minds towards their future careers? Can you inspire students and help them navigate their educational and vocational pathways?

We are seeking a dedicated and dynamic Careers Leader to lead our careers team across our two federated secondary schools in Christchurch. This is an exciting role where you will play a pivotal part in shaping the future of students by providing comprehensive careers guidance and support.

The successful candidate will be an ambitious, flexible, and committed Careers Lead, responsible for overseeing our careers education, information, advice, and guidance services. You will also be instrumental in developing and leading the Twynham TGS Careers Strategy, directly influencing the lives and futures of our students. A QCF Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance and Development is desirable, but we are committed to supporting the right candidate to gain this qualification.

Twynham School is a special place with an excellent reputation both locally and nationally.

• 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
