Careers Leader

Careers Leaders are responsible and accountable for the planning, delivery and impact measurement of their school, special school or college’s strategic careers plan and progressive careers programme.

It’s a key role that involves aligning careers provision to the strategic priorities of the school, special school or college and overseeing work towards meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks in a meaningful way for young people.

The Careers Leader needs to be someone who can:

• Take responsibility for continuous improvement of the strategic careers plan and the progressive careers programme, which should be planned and implemented to ensure positive outcomes for young people.
• Coordinate and manage the various elements of the careers programme informed by a strategic careers plan aligned to school, special school or college priorities.
• Liaise with external partners, such as employers, learning providers and career guidance services.
• Pay careful attention to feedback from all stakeholders and to the destinations of pupils.
