Education advisers and school inspectors organise educational activities, resources and standards in schools. To work in either role you’ll need to be interested in improving the education system in the UK. Read our career profile guide to learn more about this job role and how to begin your career.
Generally, career development in this field comes with experience, as you take on more responsibility in the role and increase your skillset. This could lead to working in a leadership role or for the Department of Education in central government.
You can usually apply to become a school inspector directly out of uni. You could start out in an entry-level position, before becoming an HMI (Her Majesty's Inspector) after you have a couple of years of experience.
Self-employment is sometimes an option as a freelance education adviser.
Most learning and professional development will be on the job. You'll most likely pick up new skills as your career progresses.
