These are specialists and Level 6 Careers Advisors who support activities in the school for all students, but also work specifically with students and their families who need more support due to a variety of reasons.

• apprenticekent@theeducationpeople.org Support and signpost students and parents – particularly to apprenticeships. Also advise businesses or parents who wish to take on a young person as an apprentice.
• neetsupportteam@theeducationpeople.org works with students who are 16+ and find that they need support after they have left us at Year 11.
• Marie Colgan is our JCP Schools Adviser from the Department for Work and Pensions, based with Jobcentre Plus. She supports activities in school that help our students become ‘job-ready’. She also supports any of our sixth form students who at risk of becoming NEET from age 18+. If you would like to contact her, please ask Mrs Hollinshead for a referral.
• Kent Supported Employment – work with students and their families who are aged 16+, live in Kent, want to find paid work, and face additional barriers to finding a job because of a disability or health condition.
