  • About The Role

  • Come and work at an exceptional school!

    Working in a school can be one of the most rewarding, exhilarating and exciting experiences.  We also recognise that it can be frustrating and hard work!  We spend a considerable amount of time at work, so it is vital that we are in a place where we feel supported, fulfilled and can enjoy our working life.  We believe we have this at Cleeve Meadow.

    Cleeve Meadow School is an ambitious and dynamic SEND school providing a highly specialised education for 137 students between 11 and 19 years of age, who have moderate learning difficulties and may have other associated additional needs.  Our school is a place where traditional values meet innovation.  We have staff who are passionate about the very best education for our young people.  We aim to inspire learners to seek what they do not yet know.  You will find our school has a thoroughly inclusive approach to all we do, celebrating varied successes of our incredible students.  Together, working in partnership with parents and carers, we successfully foster and develop a positive attitude in our young people and a belief in achieving beyond their expectations.

    Cleeve Meadow aims to ensure that all students have the maximum opportunity to participate fully in society to enhance their life chances.  The support and guidance students receive from staff will give them the confidence to learn independently and strive to achieve.  The school aims to be a centre of excellence for its students, parents/carers, staff, local authorities and the wider community.

    In the role as Careers Lead, you will work to deliver effective careers education advice, information and guidance to students.  This will take place in lessons, tutorials, assemblies etc.  You will work with parents and families to support effective and smooth transitions, working with and through external partners and agencies, such as colleges and work experience placements. 

    Support students consistently with careers advice and guidance whilst recognising and responding to their individual needs.

    Please note:  We recommend and welcome visits to the school.

    In return, as an employee of The Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT), you will benefit from:
    A wide variety of opportunities for professional development, including the potential to develop your career at more than one TKAT academy;
    Opportunities to work flexibly, where possible;

    Flexible working
    TKAT recognises the value of enabling our employees to develop their career and balance this with their commitments and interests outside of work. In TKAT we promote flexible working practices and opportunities to promote a positive work life balance.

    AI can support your application, but it is the real you we want to hear from!
    AI is making people think about how to complete a job application. Technology is changing and AI tools are evolving constantly. We are definitely not against it, we love to see innovation.  However, here at Cleeve Meadow School, we employ the real you, not the AI version.  Should you choose to use AI to assist with your application, that is your choice, but ensure the final draft presents you! How you think, your professional working history and what drives you.  Here at Cleeve Meadow School we are seeking people who reflect our values, want to make a difference and have the ambition and believe in education’s strength to change lives. This is all you, AI cannot reproduce this passion.  Perhaps AI can help get things flowing, but ensure you as a person are visible and heard.
