Employer Engagement & Work-Related Learning Officer (Part-time)

About us

UCL Careers provides careers education to current students, graduates and staff of UCL, as well as recruitment solutions for employers. UCL Careers provides a ‘core’ service for all students as well as careers support for faculties and departments.

UCL East is UCL’s single biggest development since we were founded, with its first two buildings opening in 2022 and 2023. Located on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, UCL East will be dedicated to disruptive thinking and discovery across disciplines and beyond academic walls, to find solutions to the biggest challenges for future living.

About the role

As part of UCL’s expansion to east London, we are seeking to appoint an Employer Engagement and Work-Related Learning Officer (0.6 FTE) to work as part of a new and growing UCL Careers presence at the UCL East campus. This is a new post to support building employer partnerships for work-related learning opportunities for students at the campus.

In this job, you will engage with relevant academic staff, employers, alumni and professional bodies, to run various work-related learning activities (including supporting in-curriculum activity). These could include work-focused scenarios/projects, employer/alumni lectures, skill development workshops, placements, or internships. Such engagement may involve developing relationships with existing contacts but will also involve proactively researching the market and establishing new connections. Throughout your work, you will liaise with the Work-Related Learning Officers and Managers across UCL Careers to share best practice and ensure consistency of standard across UCL.

About you

You will have a good understanding of employer engagement and work-related learning initiatives (or similar projects) that support individuals in developing their employability. You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships with a range of stakeholders within academia, industry, and the student body. You will also have the ability to devise, plan and deliver projects within tight time scales and evaluate their effectiveness, as well as having strong organisational skills and be able to plan for immediate and longer-term objectives and deadlines.

As part of a small, agile and growing team (within the larger UCL Careers team), you should be able to collaborate and play your part in the team effectively and proactively.
