Job overview
School Counsellor/Careers Advisor
Peponi School is an international, co-educational school in Kenya set about twenty-five kilometres outside Nairobi near Ruiru. It was founded in 1989 and has been very fortunate to enjoy very early success and would now be rated amongst the best schools in Kenya. Peponi School follows the British system through to IGCSE and A Level. The School is situated on our own very spacious grounds in the beautiful Northlands Estate. Our pupils have developed a fine reputation for success in the classroom, on the games field and for both Music and Drama. Our unashamedly holistic approach, as a boarding school, is a key feature of our aims. Extra-curricular activities are very much part of school life. As one of the leading British curriculum schools in Kenya, we prepare our pupils for entry to universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Most of our leavers enter Law, Economics, Science, Medical and Engineering courses.
We are looking to appoint, for September 2018, an enthusiastic, innovative, highly motivated and dynamic School Counsellor/Careers Advisor to join the pastoral team. The successful candidate should have experience in school PSHE programmes and be able to continue to develop and deliver a comprehensive careers curriculum, offering advice, support and guidance on both university and career pathways. He/she will provide high-quality counselling to pupils experiencing a wide range of emotional, social and educational issues. He/she should also have an awareness of the range of needs of pupils from diverse ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds.
Peponi School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people in our care. We follow safe recruitment practices and appointments are subject to vetting including reference checks, identity and criminal record checks.
