A warm welcome to NewVIc - a place where all ambitions are celebrated. As one of the largest sixth form colleges in London (more than 3,000 students), we are a non-selective, diverse and secular college, proud to have launched over 50,000 young people onto university, training and employment since we were founded in 1992.
In 2019, the College was graded overall as ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and ‘Outstanding’ for our provision of personal development, behaviour and welfare. We are very proud to be a three-time silver award winner at the Pearson National Teaching Awards, where in 2020, we made history by becoming the first ever provider to win two awards in a single year.
At NewVIc, we have a unique commitment to social impact - which means we support our staff and students to have a positive effect on the world. We believe that everybody has the power to make a positive impact on society - small changes that add up to make the world a better place.
Our motto is: Diverse in Ambition, United in Success
Following a restructure of our work placement provision, we are looking to appoint two additional enthusiastic and highly motivated Employer Engagement & Placement Officers. You will develop a network of external contacts and create industrial placements and work experience opportunities for our students in designated curriculum areas. You will visit employers to assess suitability for our students including those who are vulnerable or who require a high level of support, such as learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities.
Significant experience of working directly with employers and in a work placement advisory capacity or similar are essential as well as having excellent sales and negotiation skills.
You will have excellent written and oral communication skills with the ability to effectively present to a variety of audiences. The successful candidate must be computer literate with excellent knowledge of Google Suite packages including Sheets and Docs.
This is a pivotal role contributing to the success of NewVIc learners. If you are passionate about making a contribution to high quality post-16 education and training, then we would love to hear from you.
What’s in it for you?
We offer the opportunity to help develop your skills and knowledge in a friendly team environment, plus a range of benefits including a career average pension scheme (LGPS), employee assistance programme, onsite parking, cycle to work, onsite canteen, TECH Scheme, Eye Care support and full access to the onsite gym.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
We are committed to creating and promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce that better reflects the wider community we support. We particularly welcome applicants from groups currently under-represented in senior roles, including females, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), people with disabilities and from the LGBTQ community.
Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of our students and expect everybody working for the College to share this commitment. We actively seek DBS clearance checks for applications of employment as part of our safeguarding procedures.
This role will be starting as soon as possible depending on the notice period for successful candidates.
