Melissa Ryder Wolf
Careers Lead

I first came to Weston Favell Academy in 2016 as a PE and Psychology teacher.

I became Careers Lead in 2018 where I completed the Teach First Careers and Employability Accreditation. My role along with the rest of the team, is to ensure pupils have a wide range of career experiences throughout their time at Weston Favell. This is to enhance their knowledge and help them on their journey to decide on what pathways they would like to take when they leave us.

I feel proud to work with such inspiring young people and help guide and shape their future to enable them to move onto a suitable destination. 

Lauren Tyler
Enhanced Careers Lead

I joined Skegness Academy, part of the Greenwood Academies Trust, in 2014 as a Sixth Form Learning Mentor. During my time at the Skegness Academy, I have completed the Teach First CELP accreditation, Level 3 Careers Guidance course and Level 6 QCF Diploma in Career Guidance and Development.

I am now the Enhanced Careers Lead for Skegness Academy and also support the team at Weston Favell Academy to provide career guidance. Prior to joining the education sector, I started as a Redcoat at Butlin's Skegness. Believing I had bigger and better shoes to fill, I secured the role of Entertainment Officer for P&O Cruises where I travelled the world for 5 years, experiencing everything life has to offer and challenging myself at every opportunity. There I was promoted to Assistant Cruise Director, which was a huge achievement, and one I am very proud of.

When I decided to hang up my sea shoes, I knew I wanted to give back and inspire young people to chase their dream irrespective of their starting point which led me into a career in supporting students to shape their future.
