We seek an experienced and passionate Director of University Guidance to oversee our team of five experienced counsellors (and university registrar) to provide our students across the Senior School, but particularly in Sixth Form, with support, guidance and practical advice to reach appropriate and ambitious university destinations and competitive courses. This role forms part of our wider academic leadership team and the successful candidate would work in liaison with our Sixth Form Team and Heads of Department to ensure high quality and personalised guidance for each student. The successful candidate will also have relevant and up to date knowledge supporting university pathways to the US, UK, and wider afield, experience of effectively leading a team and an ability to communicate clearly with all members of our community.

NLCS (UK)

North London Collegiate School (UK) was founded in 1850 by Frances Mary Buss; her aim was to offer an academically ambitious education to girls, similar to that available to their brothers. The School has pioneered women’s education for 175 years and remains among the highest achieving schools in the UK. Exam results regularly top the UK league tables and the School has repeatedly outperformed other prestigious schools in terms of Oxbridge success.

Unlike many UK independent schools, NLCS has a firm commitment to ensuring close links with its overseas branch schools. Every effort is made to replicate the ethos and standards. Wherever possible, staff for overseas schools are interviewed by members of the International Team based at the London school, as well as staff from our overseas schools. Where possible, teachers, once appointed, are invited to travel to London for induction and training at the UK school and this is generously funded by our partners.

Once an overseas branch is open, it undergoes quality assurance visits by the International team, and close links are formed through family of school events, exchanges, joint projects and educational visits.

As the NLCS family expands, it is hoped that partnerships will develop further so that each school develops links with the others. We also hope to see staff join the group in order to build their career with us and benefit from the many professional development and career-progression opportunities, which a group of world-class schools such as ours can offer.
