About the Role 

In this role, you will work with other staff across Careers and Enterprise to offer a comprehensive programme of activities and events which employers can engage in, maximising progression opportunities for students and graduates to improve Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) results and to encourage them as alumni to support current students on their career journey both within the UK and internationally.

About You

We are looking for someone who will lead on employer support for designated academic Schools and sectors working closely with the Employer Engagement Team, Leaders, Careers Consultants and Careers and Enterprise programme teams to offer a coordinated approach to both the School and central employer programme of opportunities.

You will be expected to work closely with other staff within the Careers and Enterprise Team to ensure effective and streamlined external engagement, and demonstrate a strong commitment to the values of equality, diversity and inclusion.

About the Department

The Careers and Enterprise Team’s mission is to further develop the employability of Queen Mary University of London students from enrolment until three years after graduation. The Team consists of around 60 FTE staff, working in partnership with academic schools and employers to provide inclusive careers support and opportunities to Queen Mary students and graduates.

Our vision is to open the doors of opportunity for Queen Mary students and graduates. We are committed to supporting our diverse student population, distinctive for a Russell Group University, as evidenced by the Institute of Fiscal Studies/Sutton Trust report, which considers Queen Mary the top university in Britain for social mobility.

About Queen Mary

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.

Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

Benefits

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.

Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
