Careers & Progression Advisor

We have an exciting and highly rewarding opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our Learner Pathway Team. This team supports the wider development and progression of our learners, with this role focusing on Careers and Progression advice.

​

In this role, you will be responsible for direct careers and progression support – from pre-entry to on-programme advice, supporting career planning, offering both UCAS and non-UCAS support, and developing students' understanding of the world of work, apprenticeship programmes, and progression to Further or Higher Education.

 

You will be working closely with the Pastoral Tutor team and supported by the other members of the Learner Pathways Team, to maintain a constant picture of all career and progression aims, ensuring that learner experiences support progression goals.

You will support, and when appropriate, take the lead on designing elements of the delivery programme, engaging our learners in aspiration activities that enable them to recognise their options beyond the JLC experience.

​

The successful candidate will:

• Be an experienced Careers Advisor at Level 6.

• Be professional, friendly, and a good role model for students.

• Have strong administrative skills, especially around data management.

​

In return, we pride ourselves on offering more than just a place to work. At JLC, we promote a wider college community where departments, staff, and students come together to create a dynamic and supportive environment for all. By joining our team, you will have an opportunity to experience a collaborative and inclusive work culture, partake in diverse and engaging activities and events, and utilise state-of-the-art resources and facilities. On top of this, you will also get the opportunity to work with dedicated educators, as well as the possibility for professional growth and development.

​

The college’s learners are fantastic, and JLC is looking for individuals who can harness their talent, inspiring them to progress and contribute to a positive culture. The college offers a wide variety of benefits for staff, including free parking, on-site catering facilities, pension, employment support programme, and access to a wide variety of locally agreed discounts.
