As a Careers Adviser, you will support young people to make informed decisions about their future, helping them to explore their options, build confidence and take their next steps. Joining Hampshire Futures, you’ll deliver high-quality, impartial careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) to students in schools and further education colleges, primarily across the north of the county.
This is an opportunity to make a real difference – supporting young people to successfully transition into education, training or employment. Working as part of a collaborative and supportive team, you’ll contribute to improving participation and reducing the number of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
What you’ll do:
- Deliver high-quality, impartial CEIAG through one-to-one and group sessions in schools and FE colleges, helping students to understand their options and succeed at key transition points.
- Support young people to understand post-16 and post-18 pathways, including further education, apprenticeships, higher education, training and employment.
- Help students explore their interests, skills and aspirations to make informed and realistic decisions.
- Work in line with the Gatsby Benchmarks and CDI Framework, contributing to a whole-school and multi-agency approach to careers education and transition planning.
- Contribute to the ongoing development and continuous improvement of the service.
