Introduction to YSJ university
York St John is an ambitious, modern university at the heart of historic York. As one of the fastest growing universities in the U.K over recent years, we have a new strategy for the next decade, emphasising our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to creating a fairer world, and a more prosperous region.
The Role
You will be working as an Employability Consultant as part of a dynamic team. This is a newly structured team focusing on integrated career development learning as part of our ambitious aim to embed Work-related Experiential Learning (WREL) authentically across the whole curriculum. You will have responsibility for working with academic colleagues to embed WREL into the curriculum and ensure there is integrated career development learning so that students are explicitly aware of how their studies link to their future career ideas, objectives, and outcomes. In addition, you will provide targeted and tailored support to students through one-to-one and group interventions designed to raise confidence and aspiration to explore and develop career ideas. You will create high-class resources and campaigns to help students maximise their employability whilst at University.
Required Skills and Experience
The successful candidates will be self-reliant and driven, with an in-depth knowledge of both career development theory and the challenges and barriers that students face in developing employability and succeeding as graduates. You will need to be a team player as well as work on your own initiative to manage specific projects. You should be evaluation-focused, able to read and communicate data to create buy-in to embedded employability strategies. You will be an excellent communicator, adept at giving presentations, writing reports, and creating resources. You will have the passion to put students at the heart of your work and impact measurements, and be able to facilitate authentic student co-creation.
