Description

The Careers and Student Enterprise service is the academic, career and employability nucleus of the University of East London.

The goal of the Service is to support every student to achieve academically, gain the skills for the 21st century workforce, and build direct pathways to employment.

The Service's mindset has innovation and creativity at its core.

To improve progression, retention and graduate outcomes, the Service utilises cutting edge technology and research, which has shown impact on our students' satisfaction, behaviour and outcomes.

This is a one-of-a-kind department with highly motivated staff providing a quality service to students and alumni.

As a Placement Officer, within the Postgraduate Placement Team, you will play a central role in preparing students to undertake their placement year.

This will include a full cycle of induction, workshop delivery, 1-2-1 coaching, undertaking due diligence activities to ensure placements meet the standard, through to supporting students while on placement and finally signposting them to additional resources and opportunities as they graduate.

You will work in a cross-organisational mode, building contacts across the university and as such there's rarely a dull moment.

In addition, you will support the wider Careers service representing the team at Careers Fairs, both on and off-site, as well as participating in welcome activities for new students at all levels.

If the opportunity for variety, innovation and development appeals then we look forward to hearing from you.
