Summary
Two roles available
These roles will be based on the university campus, with scope for work to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

We are seeking a professional, pro-active individual with strong interpersonal skills to join the Student Careers service. You will play a key role in the ongoing investment in improving the student experience through contributing to the employability provision, initially based in either the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Faculty for Arts, Humanities and Culture, working to support colleagues, students and industrial partners across a range of activities. Both faculty teams deliver a comprehensive service which embeds the University’s Student Opportunities and Futures strategy, making sure our students get the best opportunities, including for example industrial placements, study abroad and summer opportunities.
