Graduate Facilitator

Are you a recent Kingston graduate who is passionate about supporting others to develop their skills, confidence and career aspirations?

We are seeking enthusiastic, engaging and relatable Graduate Facilitators to support the delivery of the Apply coaching workshops within Kingston University's embedded Future Skills Programme.

Working directly with final-year students, you will help facilitate coaching conversations, encourage meaningful reflection on skills, experiences and career goals, and support students to identify, develop and articulate their graduate attributes and professional strengths. As a recent graduate yourself, you will bring valuable insight into the student journey, helping participants build confidence in their abilities and better understand how to present their skills to employers.

As a Graduate Facilitator, you will create an inclusive and supportive learning environment, encourage active participation, and help students engage with employability and career development opportunities. You will work alongside Careers and Employability staff to deliver high-quality workshops that inspire students to take positive action towards their future careers.

A positive, supportive and professional approach, combined with an interest in careers, employability and student development, will help you succeed in this role. Experience of mentoring, coaching, peer support, student ambassador work, or delivering presentations would be advantageous, although full training will be provided.
