About the role

CareersBU is BU’s free employability and skills service for students and graduates who we support to connect to employers, develop skills and attributes, and plan for their future.

This is a key support role to enable BU to connect students to employers – primarily through our online jobs board and through a series of careers fairs. Under the supervision of the Employer Engagement Manager, the post holder will be the first point of contact for employer enquiries, taking responsibility for the operational development, maintenance and promotion of our online vacancy system, and support the delivery of four annual careers fairs.

The post holder will also share the responsibility of staffing the Careers Zone, dealing with student enquiries and promoting the service, resources and events.

Applicants should be organised, professional, proactive and adaptable. An understanding and knowledge of the student lifecycle, the labour market, and employment legislation would be helpful.

This position does not meet the eligibility requirements for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker Route within the UK Visa and Immigration service’s Points Based System. Therefore, BU will not be able to sponsor individuals who require permission to work to carry out this position.
