Birmingham, United Kingdom Aston University Full time

Employability is central to our university mission, and always has been. Our employability offer and performance is an important part of the University value proposition and is a key student recruitment and attraction tool. It is also intrinsically connected to the student experience, our alumni offer and learning and teaching as well as research and knowledge exchange. More widely it is part of the commitment Aston makes to students and graduates which transforms lives.

Your contribution to Aston’s mission, exploitable research and employable graduates will be to support the Careers and Placements Team’s strategic aim of maximising positive graduate destination outcomes for all students, with a particular focus on increasing placement uptake. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our busy, multicultural and friendly team to facilitate increasing numbers of students into placements in the UK and overseas. Reporting to the Lead Placement Coordinator, you will have responsibility for your own student cohorts. You will market placements to students over the phone, virtually and face to face to stimulate and increase demand as well as deliver student preparation activities through Caseload Management, recruitment and selection technique sessions and skills development workshops.

You will also work closely with other internal stakeholders, such as Aston’s Employer Engagement Team, in order to market UK and overseas placements to students to stimulate and increase demand. An important part of this role is Caseload Management to ensure students are placement-ready, as well as designing the delivery of face to face and online innovative student support.

Educated to A Level or equivalent experience with excellent interpersonal skills, you will need to enjoy working under pressure, achieving targets and solving problems creatively. It is essential that you demonstrate a flexible and collaborative approach in a fast-paced environment.
