What skills and experience we're looking for
We are currently seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Work Experience Co-ordinator who will be responsible for the promotion and organisation of work experience, with a focus on students where work placements are required for their college course or career aim.

What the school offers its staff
New College Doncaster, an academic sixth form college, offers a distinctive young adult ethos and is a great place to work and study. With 1500 students, New College Doncaster has grown rapidly since opening in 2017 and students make exceptional progress in both A level and level 3 applied general courses. The college is proud to have been rated ‘outstanding’ in all categories in its 2021 Ofsted inspection: “Students at New College Doncaster experience a culture of very high expectations, which supports them to maximise their potential and achieve their aspirations.
