The successful candidate will be based at Quarry Hill, a state-of-the-art campus with cutting-edge facilities and industry-standard resources. You will work closely with students, employers, and curriculum departments to ensure the successful completion of work placements, and will be responsible for allocating placements to students and supporting them throughout their placement experience.

This is a part-time position, and we can offer a degree of flexibility regarding how you fulfill these hours. If you are passionate about helping students achieve their career goals, and have excellent communication and organizational skills, we would love to hear from you.

About You

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, positive, and understanding of students' needs. You will have excellent communication and organizational skills, and be able to develop effective working relationships with students, college staff, employers, and other stakeholders. Experience of working with young people in a group and one-to-one basis is essential, and a willingness to work flexibly both independently and as part of a team is also required.

Benefits

As a member of our team, you will have access to a range of benefits, including annual leave entitlement, generous pension schemes, and membership and discount schemes. You will also have the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge through our staff development days and other learning and development opportunities.
