CV Writing Template for School Leavers: SEND KS4 Post-16 Employability (UK)

Employability Bundle for SEND Post-16: CV, Interviews and Starting Work

This employability bundle for SEND post-16 covers finding, applying for and starting a job, from reading job adverts and writing a CV to calling in sick. Most young people with SEND I have worked with can do the job. What trips them up is everything around it: the advert full of jargon, the form with tiny boxes, the interview handshake, the phone call when they are ill. This bundle teaches those steps one at a time, in plain language, with real style UK examples. What is in the bundle (9 resources): 1. CV Writing Template for School Leavers: SEND KS4 Post-16 2. Job Interview Step by Step Cards: Levels A, B and C, from arriving to saying goodbye 3. Reading Job Adverts: pay, hours and contract types 4. Job Application Forms Practice Pack: fill in forms and spot the mistake 5. Calling in Sick Step Cards and Scripts: phone, voicemail and text 6. Telling an Employer or College About My Disability: disclosure guide 7. Work Experience Placement Pack: before, during and after (Year 10, Year 11, Post-16) 8. Work Placement Self Monitoring Checklists and Daily Work Log 9. Workplace Accident and Near Miss Report Forms: practice pack The order follows a real job search. Learners read adverts, build a CV, practise forms, then rehearse the interview. Once they are on placement, the checklists and daily log build independence, and the calling in sick scripts and accident forms cover the moments nobody plans for. The disclosure guide helps a young person decide what to say about their needs, and when, so the reasonable adjustments conversation starts on their terms. Each pack fits a Preparing for Adulthood employment outcome, so the work counts towards EHCP reviews, RARPA records and Entry Level or Functional Skills employability units. Savings: bought singly these nine resources cost £27. The bundle is £15, so you save £12. Use it for a term of KS4 or post-16 careers lessons, or dip into one pack the week before work experience.
