2 weeks ago


Westminster, United Kingdom Ada, the National College for Digital Skills Full time

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.

We received Good with Outstanding Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development in our latest Ofsted inspection in March 2023.

**Purpose of the Role**:
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. Simultaneously, you'll cultivate a supportive and trusting relationship with our students, empowering them to develop the essential professional skills and competencies required to excel in their chosen field.

In summary, the T-Level Work Placement Officer plays a multifaceted role in enhancing the overall educational experience for our T-Level students, ensuring they are well-equipped, supported, and prepared for success in their industry placements and future careers.

Ideally you will have prior experience in an educational setting, particularly within Further Education or Post-16 environments. Collaborating closely with teaching staff, you'll assist in crafting suitable placement schedules and establish strong relationships with employers. Your role will encompass supporting students throughout the placement process and maintaining open communication with all stakeholders involved. You will be responsible for evaluating potential placement providers to ensure they offer a safe and healthy environment for our students. Additionally, you'll oversee and support the necessary Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks as required.

Some of the Main Responsibilities are outlined below but full details and the person specification are in the JD:
Work Placements:

- Source and secure industry placements for T-Level students.
- Build and maintain relationships with employers.
- Conduct pre-placement employability sessions in collaboration with teachers.
