About the Department

Careers and Enterprise is committed to developing the employability of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) students and graduates by helping them to acquire the skills and experience necessary to progress successfully to graduate-level employment, enterprise and/or further study. We work to improve Graduate Outcomes and fulfil QMUL’s strategic ambitions and employability targets.

We are a team of around 60 FTE, working across all academic departments and providing services to undergraduates, postgraduates and graduates for up to three years post-graduation. Within our service, our teams work collaboratively as School Partnership Teams. The key teams are Careers Education, Advice, and Guidance; Employer Engagement and Internships; Enterprise; Employability and Student Development Programmes, and Information and Operations.

About the role

The post holder will be part of the Enterprise; Employability and Student Development Programmes team providing a dedicated service for students and graduates from Queen Mary University of London, placing them into temporary work on campus and local to campus. This involves proactively negotiating temp work opportunities, marketing to students, placing students into temp roles and liaising with employers and students to ensure the smooth running of temp assignments. 

About you

The post holder will provide support to internal Queen Mary University of London departments employing a temp worker where required, from compiling the job description to selecting a candidate, ensuring legislative requirements are met, and undertaking compliance checks with candidates.

In addition, the post holder will be required to initiate and build relationships with a range of employers external to the university for the purpose of sourcing temp opportunities for students and graduates.

Benefits

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
