Salary Range:
£33,002.00 - £38,784.00
We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, creating a community where colleagues feel respected and valued. We aim to reflect the diversity of our students and communities, and to strengthen our university through collaboration and diverse perspectives, across all roles at the University.
Careers Service | University of Hull
The Careers Service is looking to grow the team.
We deliver careers education, advice, and guidance across the student journey, working closely with employers, academic colleagues, and student services to support students to define and progress towards their own version of success.
We are excited to offer an opportunity for someone keen to build a career in careers and employability to join us as a Trainee Careers Adviser. This role is for candidates who do not yet hold a formal careers qualification, but who have the values, skills, and commitment to develop into an excellent careers professional.
About the Role
As a Trainee Careers Adviser, you will work directly with students, delivering careers and employability guidance through appointments, workshops, and group activity. From day one, you will contribute to projects, deliver sessions (including to large groups), and support students to navigate decisions and next steps in ways that reflect their individual contexts and aspirations.
You will be supported to develop your professional practice and have structured training which includes a PG Cert and Higher Apprenticeship in Career Development which will be undertaken with the University of Warwick. You will be supported with mentoring and guidance from an experienced team of professionally qualified Careers Consultants.
About You
There is no single route into the careers profession. We particularly welcome applications from those with experience in areas such as:
- HR, learning and development or people-focused roles
- Teaching, training or education
- Recruitment, employer engagement or resourcing
- Student support, wellbeing, widening participation or pastoral services
- Employability, outreach, mentoring or advice-based roles
What matters most is that you bring empathy, an understanding of student diversity and barriers to progression, confidence working with groups, and a genuine interest in careers, employability, and Higher Education. You should be creative, open to trying new approaches, and motivated to build a long-term career in this field.
If you’re excited by the idea of developing into a careers professional, with structured training and strong team support, we would strongly encourage you to apply.
