As Enterprise Coordinator I support the Careers Leaders of secondary schools and FE colleges in North and Mid Devon to develop their careers programme. I’ve worked in the careers field since 2000 where I started as a careers adviser in West Oxfordshire secondary schools before taking up a post as Careers Consultant at Oxford Brookes University. In 2014
I moved to North Devon and after a brief stint as a jobbing gardener, I became the Careers Leader and Careers Adviser for Petroc College of FE. I’ve been an Enterprise Coordinator since 2021 and I very much enjoy supporting Careers Leaders to develop careers activities that meet the Gatsby benchmarks.

We are keen to build working partnerships with employers to support our students as they begin their journey in the world of work. We currently have successful links with the following employers:
What our links with Employers offer
Our work with different employers offers us a wide variety of different outcomes.
Employers offer us:
Visit opportunities so pupils can see what it is like in a real life working environment. This can range from a short tour to a more extended or repeated visits.
Coming into Mayfield to talk about job roles, supported internships and personal experience of getting into the world of work.
Supporting our young people to learn about employability skills, interviews and preparing for work
Work experience placements. Again this could be job shadowing, a singular visit or repeated visits over a period of time. All work experience placements are supported by skilled staff members. Placements can be individualised, paired or group placements.
If you feel you can support our students or us as a school in anyway please do get in contact.
