Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of a Head of Progression and Futures to join a High School based in Croydon.
The High School has been delivering an outstanding education since 1874 and yet is innovative, flexible and firmly focused on the future, preparing girls to meet the challenges of the modern world. They have developed an excellent Progression and Futures (formerly known as ‘Careers’) programme focused on their pupils’ aspirations for the future.
The High School is looking for someone to deliver the Progression and Futures programme and make further strategic developments in their delivery of Progression and Futures education. In this key role, you will track each pupil’s progress throughout the School and beyond, and develop exciting and productive partnerships with alumnae and external organisations, such as companies, businesses and agencies to help their pupils become genuinely ‘real-world ready’ and prepare themselves for life beyond the classroom.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Delivering an exciting and engaging Progression and Futures programme centred around their pupils
- Providing excellent and personalised advice and support to each pupil at every stage, particularly at key decision-making points around GCSE, A level and university (or any other option pupils wish to pursue as school leavers)
- Collaborating with the Head of PSHE to develop a skills-based careers education programme for KS3 and KS4 pupils
- Working closely with senior leadership to ensure all opportunities to promote Progression and Futures, and support pupils on an individual level, are taken
- Delivering a programme of events and interactions so that pupils gain access to employers and Higher Education to broaden their experience and knowledge of the opportunities available
- Participating actively as a member of the Sixth Form Team to ensure that personalised support is provided to Sixth Form students at this crucial stage of their lives
You may not necessarily have worked in a school but will be an ‘educator’ in a global sense and will understand how to inspire, coach and guide young people, while leading a ground-breaking programme and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit in their pupils, giving them the confidence to take, and to create, opportunities for themselves.
They welcome applications from those with a wide variety of backgrounds.
Why join:
The High School prides itself on its innovative approach and friendly atmosphere. The School is located in Selsdon, south of Croydon, on a beautiful campus.
The High School places a significant importance on the professional development of its staff. With a generous approach to external CPD, the school has its own bespoke Leadership Development Programme which is designed to shape future middle and senior leaders. This makes the High School an especially exciting place to develop your career.
They also offer a variety of benefits, such as:
- Competitive salaries and pay progression
- Access to extensive professional development opportunities
- Training grants for qualifications
- Generous pension schemes
- Free life assurance benefit
- A discount of up to 50% on fees for children
- Interest free loans for training, computer purchase loans and travel season ticket loans
- A Cycle to Work scheme
- Competitive terms and conditions of employment
Interviews are expected to take place on Tuesday 18 June 2024.
