This is a new post, building on the excellent work done by our former Head of Careers, in which the post holder will lead and manage student transition and progression at the College.

This role will also play a significant role in supporting student transition – both in terms of the transition from school to college right through to when they leave, continuing to build and evolve an extensive and committed alumni network. The successful candidate will also be part of the College Upper Management Team, collectively working to ensure our students thrive and succeed.
Applications are welcome from outstanding teaching professionals, who possess the necessary vision, dynamism, and relentless commitment to provide excellent progression advice and guidance for our students.
The role will be remunerated on the Godalming College Single Leadership pay spine, range L13-L15 currently £53,118 to £54,903 pa (including Fringe Allowance of £1,092 pa).
