Join our award-winning team as a Senior Employability Adviser.
This role sits within the Graduate Futures department, which prepares our students for progression into graduate-level employment or enterprise and builds an active community of alumni who support current students through giving time, expertise or philanthropic donations.
As part of our dedicated and successful Careers and Enterprise Team, you will proactively support academic colleagues to embed employability within the curriculum and make a positive impact on our students and their future success.
You will have line management responsibility for three Employability Advisers, as well as being the senior employability lead for:
Business, Law and Policing
Nursing, Midwifery, Allied and Public Health
Social Work, Education and Teacher Education
We are looking for an individual with knowledge of career development and experience of translating this knowledge into practical initiatives that ensure our course content and extra-curricular support meets the challenging expectations of industry and the career aspirations of our students. You will demonstrate excellent communication, presentation and management skills, have a creative and consultative solutions-focused approach to problem solving, and be able to work effectively and using your own initiative to deliver with drive and enthusiasm.
We are committed to supporting flexible methods of working wherever possible and this role is Flexible and connected (Academic & Student Facing). Campus attendance will vary on a day-to-day basis and across the year but must purposefully align to the service being delivered and to the needs of our students, staff, and stakeholders. It is expected that the majority of your working time will be spent on campus.
