Experience of providing careers guidance gained within the Higher Education professional development environment will be highly beneficial.

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • Proven relationship management skills with experience of engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders.
  • Strong networking capability with the credibility and gravitas to advise senior industry professionals.
