As one of four Employer & Placement Services Consultants in Career & Employability Services the postholder will work across Faculties to develop new models of work-based learning and placement. The initial focus will be on supporting the development of new processes to enable simulated work-based placements and a new placement mentoring model within Faculty of Health. They will also lead the development and delivery of virtual experience placement options, particularly across the Faculty of Management Law and Social Sciences. The role also entails ensuring effective and efficient delivery of placement administrative processes essential to a positive student experience, positive provider experience and delivery of programme requirements. In addition, the postholder will deliver additional business engagement activities to secure placement, curriculum activities and student/graduate vacancies, pre-placement group sessions and support to individual students.
