About Sir George Monoux College:
“Students benefit from studying in an environment in which they feel confident to work hard and be themselves. Students are courteous, motivated and positive. They treat one another with respect and value the fact that the college is a place in which they feel safe.” (OFSTED, November 2021)
At Monoux Sixth Form College, we are determined that all of our students reach better futures through the ability to learn and change today. We are a dynamic and innovative Sixth Form College in Walthamstow, London, serving a diverse body of approximately 1900 learners, aged 14-19.
In our most recent OFSTED visit the college was graded as ‘Good’ in all categories, with a particular emphasis on the high-quality teaching and positive student behaviour. Our students make excellent progress from GCSE, and we are ambitious about where they go next, with an improving trend of Russell Group entry as well as high value work and apprenticeships. We want our students to achieve more than they think is possible, and take pride in our calm and purposeful campus.
About the role:This is an exciting and varied role which will involve responsibility for providing academic support and future destinations guidance to students across one of our pathways. Guidance Officers liaise with students, external agencies, colleagues, parents and guardians to ensure effective interventions that encourage high aspiration. They support students with future destinations planning: whether this is university, apprenticeships or the world of work. You will also deliver a range of student projects that take place before classes and during the College day. These include study groups, guest speakers, clubs and societies, assemblies and other initiatives. You will also be responsible for a weekly tutorial group. We are looking for a candidate with a background in youth work, education, or a similar field – but primarily you should enjoy engaging with young people, encouraging high aspiration and providing support to reduce or remove barriers to success. In order to be successful, you should have great interpersonal skills, be highly organised and able to work both independently and within a wider team.
You may have experience that directly relates to one of our pathways, but this is not required. You may already have a qualification in Careers Advice and Guidance, but if you do not, training will be provided as part of the role. We are also open to candidates who wish to apply for this position on a part-time or job-share basis.
