Student Consultancy Programme Coordinator

About the role

Our award-winning student consultancy programme has been running since 2015. It places interdisciplinary teams of students into mini consultancy projects in businesses and charities.

The post holder will be responsible for working collaboratively with the other two Programme Coordinators to coordinate the student consultancy programme by initiating and managing relationships with host businesses and charities as well as training and supporting students to complete their consultancy projects.
