Careers Consultant - Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London

King’s College London are recruiting for a permanent full time Careers Consultant for the Dickson Poon School of Law. In this position, the successful candidate will be working with the faculty to deliver high quality careers education, labour market intelligence, and guidance to students in the Faculty.

You will join the highly regarded Careers and Employability service at King’s as part of their Careers Education Team which is made up of 13 Careers Consultants, including a specialist team for Researchers. In applying for this role, you will be applying to become a Careers Consultant in The Careers Group, and to be allocated through The Careers Group to perform that role at King's College London’s Dickson Poon School of Law (see Job Pack for more details).

As a King's Careers Consultant, you will help students and graduates to acquire the skills necessary to choose their future path, find employment and to manage their career successfully. You will achieve this through a combination of teaching inside and outside of the curriculum, one-to-one guidance and the development of e-learning and other resources.  You will use your previous work experience plus skills such as creating clear goals and empathy combined with training in guidance skills from The Careers Group.

A key part of this role will be for you to build strategic relationships with academic colleagues, employers, alumni and other professionals inside and outside of the university careers team in order to design and deliver the best possible employability support. 

We have a new strategy with a focus on building greater faculty partnerships and underpinning our work with data.  We continue to develop our digital provision alongside face-to-face support and making this a seamless experience for students is a key focus for the coming year.  

The Careers & Employability team is here to support all students and we achieve that by valuing diversity and being inclusive in what we do – and we’re actively learning ways to do it better. We’d like you to be part of that and bring your own lived experience to working with us as a Careers Consultant.
