• Supporting Students' University Applications: Guide students through every stage of the application process, from shortlisting universities to securing scholarships, with a strong understanding of international pathways and British Curriculum requirements.
• Coordinating with Key Stakeholders: Work closely with teachers, parents, school leadership, and relevant academic teams to monitor student progress and ensure strong recommendations.
• Enhancing Extracurricular Opportunities: Develop programs to enrich students’ academic experience and organize career-related events, workshops, and guidance sessions.
• Managing Relationships with Universities: Build and maintain partnerships with universities, particularly in Africa and internationally, and manage relevant university application platforms and digital tools.
• Alumni Engagement: Foster a strong alumni network to support current and former students in their academic and professional journeys.

• Familiarity with the British Curriculum: Important to support students effectively within the KISC context and guide them through relevant university pathways.
• Strong Communication and Presentation Skills: Critical for writing recommendation letters, guiding students and parents, building relationships with teachers and universities, and being well accepted by the school community.
• Proficiency in Data Management and Digital Tools: Necessary to manage student application data, track progress, handle reports, and use digital platforms efficiently.
• Familiarity with African and International Universities: Helps ensure students have a broad range of opportunities and can find the right academic fit.
• Creative and Event Management Skills: Important for organizing career fairs, workshops, and other student enrichment activities that broaden students’ perspectives.
