Careers Adviser

Role Summary

The Careers Adviser will have responsibility for delivering careers advice and guidance, and career development learning, to students within the business school. This role will have an initial focus on supporting Postgraduate students. However all members of our Careers team support all of our students, so you will be expected at different times of the year to support undergraduate students and any others that fall outside of your initial remit. This focus may change between academic years as and when we know more about the make-up of our student cohort. Drawing upon your expertise in student employability, and the graduate and/or experienced hire labour market, you will advise and support academic colleagues, professional services staff, and our Careers team members to develop and engage students with in curricular and co-curricular external engagement, employability skills, and a variety of career development activity.

Collaborating with a small team of career professionals supporting BSc, MSc, or MBA students, the postholder will deliver a programme of activities that enhance the employability of our students, promote equality, diversity, and inclusion, and ensures students have access to the right development opportunities for them. Using data analysis, labour market intelligence, digital technologies, and working with students as co-creators, you will provide tailored career development support for the school's diverse cohort of students.

This role is located within the Careers team, which exists to help students and graduates realise the potential of their University experience and degree, helping them to positively shape the world around them, powering possibilities for themselves, and others, throughout their careers. The team comprises circa 15 staff, across undergraduate and postgraduate cohorts supporting employability within and beyond the curriculum, engaging with employers, alumni, and external partners to support this endeavour. Our culture is ambitious because we aim high in fulfilling our goals: helping staff and students feel supported to realise their potential, working collaboratively, and being passionate about ensuring students are at the heart of what we do.

This role is 0.8FTE. All parties invited to interview will be asked what this arrangement means to them, how we can support you and your working arrangements and how we can work together to offer an excellent service to our students.
