The Role

The University of London Careers Service is recruiting a Careers Consultant to work with undergraduates and graduates from St. George's University of London (SGUL) for 3 days a week (0.6 FTE) on a fixed-term contract. This role involves helping students and graduates acquire the skills needed to choose their future paths, secure employment, and manage their careers. You will provide high-quality, client-centred careers and employability support through one-to-one guidance, workshops, events, and other activities, delivered both remotely and in-person, tailored to SGUL’s specialized programmes.

A key responsibility is building strategic relationships with academic staff, alumni, student representatives, employers, and other stakeholders to design and deliver optimal employability support. Additionally, you will develop online resources and learning materials.

The SGUL Careers Consultants are integral to the University of London Careers Service, sharing best practices and support with other Small and Specialist Colleges within the University, and the team supporting the University of London’s distance and flexible learners.
