Accountancy Uncovered Events, February and March 2019

Please be aware of upcoming school leaver and parent events in Cambridge and surrounding areas.

The ICAEW are inviting students to their accountancy uncovered events, taking place throughout February and March, from 18:30 to 20:30. These events have been designed to help teachers, students and parents alike gain a better understanding of chartered accountancy and hear from both local and national employers.

These events are a great opportunity for students with an interest in accountancy to learn more about the options available to them, whether that’s starting straight from school; through school leaver and apprenticeship programmes, or after university as a graduate.

These highly interactive events will comprise;

·         An expert from ICAEW talking to teachers, parents and students about school leaver, apprenticeship, work experience and graduate opportunities.

·         Trainee and qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountants sharing their stories about their career, giving top tips on how to succeed.

·         A panel presentation and Q&A session with local employers offering school leaver and graduate opportunities.

·         An opportunity to have detailed conversations and develop links with local and national employers in our mini careers fair and networking session.

·         Recruitment opportunities for students interested in early career opportunities.

Please share this event with students, parents and colleagues who may be interested in attending these free events.

Changes to UKCAT

UKCAT is changing to UCAT - same test, new name!

 

The UKCAT has been re-launched this week under the new name of the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) to recognise that our test is now widely used in the admissions and selection process by a growing number of international universities. The UCAT continues to be the largest medical admissions test in the UK, currently used by 30 UK universities for admission to their Medicine and Dentistry Degrees. FAO students applying through UCAS this October who need to be aware of this mandatory part of the university application process.

Prior to 2019 the UCAT was known as the UKCAT. Whilst the name has changed, the test content remains the same.

HM Prison and Probation Service - Operational Support Staff Opportunities

Operational Support Staff

UK Wide

Up to £19,658 (includes additional allowance and unsocial hours) +
excellent benefits

Keeping a prison running smoothly and safely takes many things. Good judgement, common sense and responsibility to name a few. Above all, though, it takes teamwork. And as part of our Operational Support team you’ll be right at the
heart of it.

We’re currently looking for individuals to join us in prisons across the UK. Working in a busy, professional environment, and operating on a shift-pattern that will include some night work, you’ll support the day-to-day running of the establishment. Unlike our prison officers, you’ll have relatively limited contact with prisoners themselves. Instead your role we see you involved in everything from patrol and gate duties to managing deliveries, supervising visitors, monitoring phone calls and CCTV.

In return you’ll receive a good salary, Civil Service pension, season ticket loan
and many other benefits. So, if you're looking for an opportunity to be part of
a friendly team that has a big influence on the day to day operation of a prison, click ‘Apply’ now.
