Role Description

Cranfield is an exclusively postgraduate university that is a global leader for education and transformational research in technology and management.

The University’s Career Development Service exists to help students enhance their skills and understanding of themselves to help them build long-term career success whilst creating and managing relationships with organisations to assist in their recruitment needs and to meet the career aspirations of our students.

You will contribute to the employability of the University’s students and alumni, by delivering careers and employability-related teaching, advice, information, guidance and coaching to students and graduates individually and in groups. 

You will be responsible for providing appropriate and up to date, sector specific, information, advice and guidance to students to support the achievement of their goals and proactively support the students in identifying their career plans, align their skills and understanding of themselves and develop and implement their career strategies.

Educated to degree level, you will have significant recent experience in a recruitment, training or careers guidance role and have a strong interest in working with diverse cultural groups, in particular with international students. You will be familiar with the requirements for undertaking an MBA/MSc, the profile of the individuals who study on these programmes, and the employers who recruit them. You will have the ability to manage client relationships and work closely with our recruitment partners to proactively manage graduate transitions into employment.  You must have the ability to work independently and enthusiastically without detailed supervision and to work in a student-centred way.

For an informal discussion, please contact Penny Pickering, Head of Careers Service Delivery, on (T); +44 (0)1234 758192 or (E); p.pickering@cranfield.ac.uk
