Student Professional Development Consultant - Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 573 years, and today we are one of the world's top 100 universities. We are delighted to have been awarded Scottish University of the Year by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Student Professional Development Consultant – Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, to work within the University.

The University of Glasgow is committed to empowering students to identify and achieve their career goals and realise their full potential. As a member of Student Professional Development Team in Careers, Employability & Opportunity, you will support the career planning and professional development of students (UG, PGT, PGR) and early-career graduates.

Data shows that students from widening participation backgrounds and those with disabilities may face additional barriers to pursuing or securing graduate level outcomes. This role will lead on focused work to understand how we can ensure our career development activities and opportunities are visible, inclusive and accessible to these cohorts.

You will make a significant contribution to the successful graduate outcome of our students by championing inclusive and accessible careers and employability activity and supporting colleagues to embed this into the student experience.
