Supporting students to obtain summer placements, yearlong placements and graduate roles

Reporting activities and outcomes to the Novus Chair and sponsors

Liaising with internal departments, such as Communities and Events to add mutual value to CILT(UK) and student's journeys

Attending or arranging presence at sector trade shows and external careers fairs to promote the work of Novus

· Collaborative mindset and a flexible approach to working

· Able to work under pressure and to deadlines

· Strong communication skills, adaptable to a range of audiences
