Careers Consultant (UCL Careers, School of Management ) x2

UCL Careers provides careers education to current students, graduates and staff of UCL, as well as recruitment solutions for employers. UCL Careers provides a ‘core’ service for students as well as bespoke support within some academic areas, including UCL’s School of Management.

The UCL School of Management is home to UCL’s business and management research and education programmes. The School has forged a reputation for world-leading research and teaching in the areas of innovation management, the creation and growth of technology-intensive organisations, business analytics, and entrepreneurship.

The 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF) rated 95% of the research performed in the UCL School of Management as ‘world-leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’, placing the School 2nd in the UK for Business and Management.

The School is a member of the Chartered Association of Business Schools. Further information about the School can be found here: www.mgmt.ucl.ac.uk/

Joining our dedicated UCL School of Management Careers Team, the Careers Consultants will be working with our postgraduate taught (PGT) students in the first instance. UCL School of Management’s PGT students are a highly international and diverse student body, studying subjects including MSc Finance, MSc Management and MSc Business Analytics. They are an aspirational and exciting group to work with, most typically seeking careers in Management Consulting, Finance or Technology.

As part of the UCL School of Management Careers team, the Careers Consultants will plan and deliver a comprehensive Careers and Professional Development Programme. This includes a mix of workshops, seminars, 1:1 coaching and application support, ensuring that every student has access to personal, bespoke support on their own unique Careers journey, and the ability to excel in the recruitment process. There will also be lots of work with internal and external colleagues and stakeholders, so confidence in, and enjoyment of, developing relationships and partnership working is really important, as is the ability to plan, lead on and manage areas of work to a high standard and agreed objectives/outcomes.

There is the opportunity for this to be a hybrid working position, with a mix of on-campus and remote working if desired. On campus delivery for PGT students usually takes place at the School’s Canary Wharf site (One Canada Square), whilst the main UCL Careers office is based in Bloomsbury.

We are looking for people with a passion for coaching/mentoring, and who have experience of supporting the career development of others. Having experience in, or knowledge of, one or more of our students’ top sectors of interest (Management Consulting, Finance, Technology), is advantageous.

The UCL Careers’ School of Management team are constantly challenging themselves to develop and be better in order to deliver sector-leading Careers support. We are looking for people who share a similar commitment to professional excellence, and who thrive on being part of a busy, collaborative team.
