Careers Advisor

A new and exciting partnership between Leeds United Foundation, Mount St Mary’s and the Premier League Charitable Fund, sees an opportunity to invest in Careers Information Advice and Guidance for Young People for the next two years. The partnership seeks to appoint a Careers Advisor to inspire young people to learn, be active and develop important life skills, knowledge, understanding, confidence, and skills that they need to make informed choices and plans for their future learning and career.  The post is fixed term until 31 December 2022.

Mount St Mary’s is a successful and oversubscribed inner city school located in the very heart of the city. Drawing from three of the four compass points the school flourishes in an atmosphere of engagement and aspiration drawing hugely upon the experiences of our incredibly diverse community.

In April 2019 the school underwent a Section 48 Inspection gaining an overall judgement of Good with Outstanding.  The report comments "Students are polite, confident and respectful in the way they treat each other and interact with staff and visitors.  They are .. highly articulate and proud of their school and their personal achievements.  Behaviour in school is excellent and a strength of the school as it reflects its Catholic character."

Our recent Section 5 OFSTED Inspection (10/2019) graded our school as 'Good' in all areas.  It described us as a joyful place, with an authentic mission...clearly embraced by all the school community and foragers a passion... for desiring to give back. Leaders have developed a nurturing school, one in which there is a strong sense of responsibility towards each other. We have a well established reputation for our care, guidance and support ensuring all learners are afforded a high level of structure and personalised development.
