We offer a supportive culture for students and staff and our excellent industry links ensure students are prepared for the Tech Industry and teachers and leaders get regular formal and informal CPD to support their teaching and technical knowledge and development.

We are a specialist digital college where all our students are passionate about tech and we are committed to supporting them to progress onto highly skilled roles in the digital sector. All students study computer science for at least 50% of their curriculum, with regular off-curriculum industry projects with partners such as King Games, Deloitte, Bank of America and Salesforce.

The T-Level Work Placement Officer is an innovative new role at Ada, designed to be instrumental in the entire process of sourcing, developing, and aligning students with high-calibre industry placements that complement our T-Level curriculum. T-Level students are mandated to accumulate at least 315 hours of practical industry placement experience throughout the duration of their course. As the T-Level Work Placement Officer, your primary responsibility will be to guide and support students throughout their placement journey. This involves assisting them in managing their placements effectively, ensuring they meet the necessary requirements and expectations. You will act as a pivotal coordinator, bridging the gap between employers and the College, facilitating seamless communication and understanding between both parties.

Additionally, pastoral care will be a significant aspect of your role. You will provide the necessary emotional and academic support to students, serving as their advocate and ensuring they have the resources and guidance needed to succeed in their placements. This involves being attuned to their needs, addressing any concerns, and offering solutions to challenges they may encounter. Building and nurturing relationships will be key to your success in this role. You will actively engage with employers to establish strong partnerships, understanding their needs and expectations to source the most suitable placements for our students.

A significant aspect of this role involves sourcing and securing suitable work placement opportunities for students, with the collaborative support of various college teams, including Outreach and Recruitment, External Relations, and Partnerships. Working closely with the Curriculum Lead, you will guide students in the early stages of their T-Level journey. This includes assisting them in developing their personal and professional skills, aiding them in the application process for placements, and facilitating their smooth transition into their chosen work placements. You will implement robust processes and systems to monitor student well-being and safety during their placements.
