You have experience working with a variety of client groups, providing a comprehensive Information, Advice, and Guidance (IAG) service.

You have experience organising events and activities, and you are skilled at building and developing positive relationships with colleagues, external partners, and organisations. Your strong communication and interpersonal skills enable you to connect with students, parents, schools, and stakeholders, ensuring every interaction is professional and effective.
You are flexible and proactive, able to manage multiple priorities while maintaining high standards of service. You either hold, or are willing to work towards, a Level 4 Information Advice and Guidance qualification. Confident using IT systems and presenting to both small and large groups, you are motivated to make a positive impact on the student journey and represent the College with clarity, energy, and professionalism.
