£40,785 full time, £33,079 to £35,773 actual
We are seeking a
dedicated and enthusiastic Careers Leader and Advisor to join our thriving team.
This
is a new role within our Personal Development team. No two days are the same in this fast paced
role.
This
is an ideal position for someone who is a team player, has a positive attitude
and can work at pace. The successful
candidate will need to be able to show an unrelenting focus on doing what is in
the best interests of every student.
St Ivo is a large 11-18
comprehensive academy in the town of St Ives, Cambridgeshire. We have around
1700 students with around 300 in our Sixth Form. The school is 70 years old and
is proud of its place within the local community. We are a truly comprehensive
and inclusive academy. This is reflected in our approach to all areas of our
work, from supporting students preparing for Oxbridge through to working with
the most vulnerable St Ivo embraces everyone.
We are values-driven and
our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for
all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful
lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their
background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students
have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We
are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home
life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In
fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help
children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.
What we offer
What we are looking for
If you are joining us from another school, academy or trust we recognise your continuous service date with confirmation from your current employer. This can positively impact several entitlements, including increased annual holiday payments which represent an increase in salary. This can be discussed in more detail at interview.
Our academy
is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young
people, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Appointment to this post would be subject to an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS
check with Barred List, satisfactory medical and employment references.

shortlisted candidates during the application window (if applicable).
