2 roles available, full-time or part-time, permanent

This is a rare opportunity for two permanent, Careers Advisers to join our team. We have a total of 1.6 full-time equivalent (FTE) posts available which could consist of one full-time and one part-time role, or two part-time roles. The successful candidates will provide careers guidance to our undergraduate and graduate students and alumni through 1-1s and group work, engage closely with two or three employment sectors, liaise with departments and colleges, and contribute to our learning and development programmes. Careers Advisers are encouraged to develop new initiatives to support students, recent examples include expansion of our support for international students, refugees and asylum seekers, working on the Making a Difference volunteering programme, and sector-related programmes such as the Creative Careers Festival.

The successful candidates will hold a degree in any discipline, bring substantial employment experience in a relevant sector for our clients, and have appropriate experience in graduate recruitment, careers advice or a similar discipline (for example, training and development).
