“Having worked in the education sector for over 20 years, I became an independent Careers Guidance Adviser at Directions IAG in 2012. I very much enjoy working with extremely professional, highly qualified likeminded people, who value as I do the benefits of giving quality careers advice in schools and academies within the Essex area.“

“I have been providing career advice and guidance to young people for over 25 years. Joining the team at Directions IAG in 2011 as an independent careers guidance adviser has enabled me to continue working with local schools and academies to help students explore their career aspirations and make informed decisions about their future.“

”I have been working as an independent careers adviser for many years. I enjoy the role of providing all important impartial advice and guidance, supporting young people to make the best choices for them. With so many decisions and pressures for young people, it is especially rewarding to help a student plan the first step towards their chosen career path.”

“After many years working in the City I spent three years working for an organisation in Essex which linked education and industry together. I then qualified as a Careers Guidance Adviser. I believe my experience of the world of work has helped me to guide and advise young people through their choices both about further and higher education as well as help them make career and job decisions.”

“I fell into the world of Careers Guidance in 2003, purely by chance, but have never looked back! It’s a rare moment to find a job you genuinely love. I really enjoy working with young people and helping them to make decisions about their futures, and the sense of reward is second to none! I started working with Directions in September 2015 and I relish being part of an accomplished and skillful group of professionals.”
