The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

 

King’s Careers & Employability is a transformative force in shaping lifelong success. Through inclusive, innovative, and personalised support we equip students, researchers, and alumni with the skills, confidence, and connections to thrive in a complex, interconnected world.

 

As the subject matter experts for careers and employability, we deliver comprehensive, inclusive, and proactive support through intentionally-designed campus-based, digital, and global initiatives. We collaborate with internal and external partners to integrate employability across the student experience to equip students, researchers, and alumni with the knowledge, skills, resilience, and opportunities they need to cultivate meaningful lives and careers.

 

Careers Education is a team of 17 Careers Consultants who develop, deliver and evaluate careers interventions (digital, group and individual) for students and researchers. This is done through our central service as well as leading faculty stakeholder engagement to further integrate employability into the curriculum.   We are part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.

This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to work with students, researchers and graduates to develop their career management skills. This could be through in person or online workshops, one to one coaching appointments or designing digital resources.  You’ll work with home and international clients studying the full range of academic subjects.  The ability to proactively build excellent stakeholder relationships across King’s and beyond is key.  You’ll be skilled at building rapport with a wide range of people and wish to utilise your excellent interpersonal and relationship building skills to deliver a high-quality service.

 

We encourage applications from candidates who have experience from both within and outside of the Higher Education sector where they can demonstrate the skills needed to succeed in this role.

 

This is a part time post (21 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.  We welcome applications from candidates seeking a flexible work pattern around core delivery hours 10am-4.30pm.
