About the Post
Wellington College Bangkok is seeking a dedicated and professional University Guidance Counsellor to join our Senior School team. This role is essential in supporting students and their families as they navigate the complexities of global university admissions. The successful candidate will work closely with the Head of Higher Education and Careers to provide comprehensive advice on discovering, applying to, and transitioning toward "best fit" post-secondary pathways.
The primary focus of this position involves guiding students in Years 12 and 13 through detailed university research, profile strengthening, and the management of application materials, including personal statements and scholarship procedures. Beyond individual advising, the Counsellor will play a key role in delivering our "Futures" curriculum—a weekly program dedicated to CV building, introspective thinking, and transition planning. The role also requires close collaboration with the Senior Leadership Team and Admissions to provide academic guidance regarding I/GCSE and A Level choices, ensuring students are strategically placed to meet their long-term career aspirations.
In addition to student-facing tasks, the University Guidance Counsellor will actively build and maintain strong relationships with university admissions teams worldwide. Responsibilities extend to organising university visits, coordinating the compilation of official recommendation letters, and contributing to the school's data analysis on higher education placements. We are looking for an individual who remains current with global admission trends and is prepared to represent the College at international conferences and fairs. This is an opportunity for a motivated professional to contribute to an exceptional support framework within a school fully committed to the welfare and future success of its students.
