The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. 

We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.  

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.  

We are seeking two new Career Development Advisers to support students in one to one and group settings. The new post holders will use data to proactively identify and engage with students who are at risk of underemployment. They will work alongside the wider team to ensure that students, regardless of their background, will feel confident and supported to make the next steps after university.

We are looking for candidates who have experience in and understanding of student employability and the graduate labour market. They will have experience in using coaching/ guidance in an education setting and will understand the context of higher education.  This role will suit candidates who have excellent listening and coaching skills and a desire to motivate students to make informed decisions about their futures.
