You will be responsible for supporting the work of the careers and employability skills team.

Under the supervision of Careers Consultants, you will research opportunities and disseminate to relevant student cohorts. You will also contribute to the work of the Employability Skills Team on projects such as the READY Programme and Brunel Plus Award.
