The College is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and hardworking Work Experience Coordinator to work in the College’s Careers Department. The successful applicant will be required to lead and coordinate the Work Experience provision within the College and develop links with employers to provide opportunities for students.
The post is available immediately on a permanent, part-time basis (49.37%). The post-holder will be required to work term-time only for 21 hours per week. The hours of work will be from 9.00am to 2.45pm, for 4 days per week (including a Tuesday and Thursday), term-time only (39 weeks per year) with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break each day. There is some flexibility regarding the hours of work.
It is anticipated that the post holder will spend the majority of their time working specifically in the work experience area, but a flexible approach to working will be required according to demand and the time in the academic year.
The post requires commitment and excellent organisational skills. Previous experience of working within a careers or work experience environment is desirable, but not essential. The post holder will spend a significant amount of the working day in a busy office environment and will be required to handle phone calls from parents and interested parties, as well as face-to-face interactions with students.
The post carries an expectation for some occasional mandatory evening activities (Open Evenings and Careers events). However, there are numerous optional opportunities for evening work (Interview Evenings for Students) should the post holder be interested in them for additional remuneration.
