Placed On: 7th July 2025

GradLink is an award-winning careers site produced by UWE Bristol for all international students across the UK. Based in the international office, GradLink plays a key role in demonstrating the university’s expertise and commitment with regards to international student employability.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to help GradLink expand its network of 1000+ employers, and to develop its B2B partnerships.

The Global Employability Development Officer is a flexible part time role (8 hours per week) focused on building networks with employers and generating vacancies in skills shortage areas (primarily technical roles) for GradLink’s UK section. This is part of a project being run in collaboration with the University of Southampton to help international students build careers in the UK.

The role also involves reaching out to organisations and businesses to promote and explain the benefits of partnering with GradLink. 

Since this is a role focused on building productive connections with employers and external organisations, strong networking skills are a must. You would have a proven record of developing outcome-yielding relationships with employers and businesses from scratch – ideally in the tech job recruitment space. 

You would have excellent communication skills, with the ability to quickly and powerfully explain the value of GradLink to employers and organisations, being able to tailor your message to address their specific requirements.  

You should be passionate about helping international graduate talent to fulfill its potential and the role it can play in enhancing the UK’s workforce.

This role can be done entirely remotely and is very flexible, the only consideration for planning your time being how to optimise development of the networks outlined above.

If you would like to speak to us to find out more about this role please contact David Gee, Creator of GradLink on 0117 328 2766 or email: david.gee@uwe.ac.uk.
