• Participate in the activities and events within the campus calendar when required, for example, open days, examinations results days, meetings with parents to promote the work of careers on the campus, and provide information, support and guidance as required.
• Represent the schools at training events, conferences and careers events promoting the work of the individual schools and programmes of study to other institutions.
