Job Spotlights
Overview
Two- to three-minute videos that plug your current lesson theme straight into a real job, so pupils see why the learning matters right now; each clip introduces the role in plain language, shows where it happens, what they do, tools they use, and the key skills, then links back to your curriculum theme.
Designed for EYFS to UKS2 with a local-to-global pathway so early years start with familiar community roles and older pupils meet wider regional, national and international careers. Perfect for subject leaders who want richer pathways and brilliant for spotlighting less obvious roles, for example Cartographer from six-figure grid references or Counsellor from emotions and relationships.

How To Use This Resource
Press play, ask one focused question, connect it to today’s task, that is it. Use as a starter or plenary, or drop it into those golden five minutes. Switch captions on, name the new vocabulary, and choose examples that match your phase, local roles for EYFS and KS1, then build out to wider sectors in LKS2 and UKS2. Subject leaders can paste top picks into the scheme so colleagues grab the right clip at the right moment. Try this prompt: “What tools and skills did you notice, and where will we use them in this lesson?”
They can be played at the start or end of a lesson to spark discussion, used as part of a careers session, or shared during curriculum planning meetings to help staff make clear links between their subject and future pathways.
