Description

As a Careers Adviser, you will support young people to make informed decisions about their future, helping them to explore their options, build confidence and take their next steps. Joining Hampshire Futures, you’ll deliver high-quality, impartial careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) to students in schools and further education colleges, primarily across the north of the county.

This is an opportunity to make a real difference – supporting young people to successfully transition into education, training or employment. Working as part of a collaborative and supportive team, you’ll contribute to improving participation and reducing the number of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).

What you’ll do
• Deliver high-quality, impartial CEIAG through one-to-one and group sessions in schools and FE colleges, helping students to understand their options and succeed at key transition points.
• Support young people to understand post-16 and post-18 pathways, including further education, apprenticeships, higher education, training and employment.
• Help students explore their interests, skills and aspirations to make informed and realistic decisions.
• Work in line with the Gatsby Benchmarks and CDI Framework, contributing to a whole-school and multi-agency approach to careers education and transition planning.
• Contribute to the ongoing development and continuous improvement of the service.

What we’re looking for
• Level 6 Career Guidance qualification (or currently working towards this).
• Experience of delivering services that support positive outcomes for young people in education or similar settings.
• Strong knowledge of post-16 and post-18 pathways and current best practice.
• Experience of working with young people with SEN/SEND.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships.
• A commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and supporting all young people to succeed.

Why join us
• Be part of a highly supportive and established careers team that values collaboration.
• Experience high levels of job satisfaction through meaningful, direct work with young people.
• Make a genuine impact – helping students build their futures and achieve their potential.
• Access to Health Assured's comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 telephone support, a suite of online resources, and legal and financial advice.
• Competitive benefits package, including generous annual leave entitlement, occupational sick pay, and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
