About the National Careers Service

The National Careers Service has helped to transform lives and provide lasting economic and social benefits to the communities in which they work. Employing a person-centred approach, they:

  • Help individuals recognise their strengths and skills.
  • Improve employability.
  • Explore and manage available career opportunities.
  • Support people to realise their potential and achieve positive work and learning outcomes.

Accredited to both the Matrix and Merlin Standards, they seek to demonstrate a belief in evidence-informed practice and service management. This is described and endorsed in its most recent Ofsted inspection report in which they were graded ‘outstanding’; in particular, its use of labour market information to inform practice and its approach to the use of digital tools is commended in the report.
