Mrs Beach - Careers Advisor:  sbeach@sta.magnificat.org.uk

I have worked as a Careers Adviser at St Augustine’s for 24 years in many different forms for Hereford and Worcester Careers service, The Connexions service and for the past nine years as a Freelance Independent Careers Adviser.

My main role is to ensure that all students are supporting at key transition points to move confidently on to their next steps with a particular focus on Yr11 and Yr13 delivering impartial careers information advice and guidance to enable them to make a well-informed decision about their post 16 and post 18 options.

I also support the careers team with their careers education programme to ensure all students have access to wide range of activities such as work experience, trips and events, outside speakers such as Employers, Apprenticeships Colleges and Universities.

I really enjoy working with the students and seeing how they progress through their school journey from Yr9 and into a positive post 16/18 destinations.

I have been very lucky to work with some brilliant colleagues in the school over the years and it’s great to work in a school that is very pro careers as it makes my job much easier !
