Careers is entering a new phase, working with partners across the university (and externally) to expand and enhance our employability offer. With impressive graduate outcomes, a strong focus on employability, and a reputation for academic excellence, we are the university of choice for many students. We are looking for someone to help us continue this journey, and prepare our students for future success.
Careers Consultants are a trusted source of careers and employability expertise, working confidently across boundaries, with all cohorts and disciplines. You will be aligned with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences initially, although specialisms and caseloads are subject to change. You will offer a full range of careers advice and guidance to students, through a range of modes and delivery, including 1:1, group and technology enabled.
About you
You’ll be a qualified and experienced Careers Professional, with experience in HE, understanding the demands of a highly motivated, high calibre and ambitious cohort.
You will:
* bring a positive attitude, and ‘can-do’ mindset
* be able to thrive in a changing environment
* have a track record in building strategic relationships
* demonstrate highly refined communication and interpersonal skills.
A commitment to excellence is a must, and you will also exhibit strong relationship management and networking skills. It is imperative that you are willing and able to work with new and emerging technology, and innovate in your practice.
Further information
This is a full-time role, working 36.5 hours per week, but work in the evening is sometimes required to deliver appointments, group sessions and host panel or employers led events. Participation in University Open Days is expected, which sometimes take place over a weekend, and there may also be a need to support events at weekends, and conferences may require an overnight stay.
For an informal discussion about the role please contact Ghislaine Dell, Head of Careers, at gcd20@bath.ac.uk.
In addition to your application please can you also attach a copy of your CV.
We consider ourselves to be a university where difference is celebrated, respected and encouraged. We have an excellent international reputation with staff from over 60 different nations and have made a positive commitment towards gender equality and intersectionality receiving a Silver Athena SWAN award. We truly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds will lead to a better environment for our employees and students, so we encourage applications from all genders, backgrounds, and communities, particularly from under-represented groups, and value the positive impact that will have on the university. We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for our students, staff, and community by reinforcing our Safer Recruitment commitment.
We are constantly seeking to reduce the unconscious bias that enters any assessment process, with the goal of creating an inclusive and equal assessment process. To support this, personal details such as your name may be removed from application forms at the initial shortlisting stage.
