Employer Engagement Coordinator (Fixed-Term)

Bournemouth University’s vision is worldwide recognition as a leading university for inspiring learning, advancing knowledge and enriching society through the fusion of education, research and practice. Our highly skilled and creative workforce is comprised of individuals drawn from a broad cross section of the globe, who reflect a variety of backgrounds, talents, perspectives and experiences that help to build our global learning community.

CareersBU is BU’s free careers and employability service for students and graduates who we support to connect to employers, develop skills, and plan for their future.

This is a key support role to enable BU to connect students to employers – primarily through our online jobs board and through a series of careers fairs. Under the supervision of the Employer Engagement Manager, the post holder will be the first point of contact for employer enquiries, taking responsibility for the operational development, maintenance and promotion of our online vacancy system, and support the delivery of four annual careers fairs.

Applicants should be organised, professional, proactive and adaptable. An understanding and knowledge of the student lifecycle, the labour market, and employment legislation would be helpful.

A detailed job description and person specification are available from our website together with an online application form. Alternatively, please email the HR Services Team at [email protected] quoting the appropriate reference SSS292.
