At Epping St Johns we are keen to promote the achievements of our alumni and show current and prospective students the diverse range of career paths our past students have followed. The high achievements of past pupils across such a wide selection of careers, we believe, reflects the well-rounded education on offer and demonstrates how we help to develop each pupil’s individual talents and strengths
All our students are inspired by the success of our alumni, so share your experiences of College, University or your career path with them. This can be done by adding to our alumni career profile, or why not become a volunteer ambassador, taking part in our inspirational talks or careers events

Why become a volunteer ambassador.
• Enrich and support student experiences by being a resource for them to use
• Help give advice and support to students
• Give something back to the next generation.
• Attend talks and promote university life or a particular career to students
• It looks great on a CV!

I would like to share my journey since leaving St Johns School in 2010.
I achieved 9 GSCE's A - C and was very excited to continue my journey in education. I had a few ideas of the career I wanted to go into ranging from a teacher to a product designer! I attended a careers event at Harlow College and was attracted to the BTEC health and social care course which I enrolled in to start September 2010.


I enjoyed my time at college and liked the feeling of growing independence. As part of the course we were required to attend a 2 week work placement. I decided that I wanted to organise my own so I contacted St Margarets Hospital who we happy to accept. I had the oppurtunity to shadow all members of staff ranging from nurses to dieticians and physiotherapists. One day I spent the morning with the speech and language therapist whose job I had never heard of. I loved it and was touched to see the amazing work they did, rehabilitating stroke survivors and enabling them to communicate again by speech or alternative methods such as pictures. I went home that day and researched the career, finally deciding that this is what I want to do. Towards the end of my second year at college, it was time to apply for university. I applied to the University of East Anglia (UEA), University of Reading and City London. I had lots of support from the college to write my personal statement and began to visit the universities and find out what university was going to be like! I received an offer from UEA and City and decided to go to UEA as I liked the campus and it wasnt too far from home. I  started Univeristy in September 2012 and am now in my second year with only one to go! I love my course and am very excited to qualify and start this worthwhile career :)
