Further details and apply
Careers and Enterprise is committed to developing the employability of Queen Mary University of London 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 are a team of 60 staff working across all academic departments, providing services to undergraduates, postgraduates and graduates for up to three years after graduation. The team is committed to supporting our diverse student population, distinctive for a Russell Group University, as evidenced by the Institute of Fiscal Studies/Sutton Trust report which considers Queen Mary the top university for social mobility.
We are looking to recruit a Digital Content and Campaigns Officer to work within the Content and Operations team. The successful candidate should be a highly motivated, creative individual who is enthusiastic about student career journeys and has the ability to write engaging content.
The focus of the role is to manage marketing activity across our social media accounts, website and through campus-wide PR campaigns, to raise awareness of Careers and Enterprise across the university and increase engagement amongst our target groups. During busy periods the post holder will be expected to act as first point of contact for enquiries to the Careers and Enterprise Centre from students, graduates, employers and academic staff. This will involve demonstrating tools and resources, and signposting to relevant information as required.
You will have excellent IT and social media and skills, with a positive and creative approach to solving problems and engaging with a range students and graduates. Collaborative working and relationship building are important elements of the role, so skills in these areas will also be required.
Currently all staff in the department are required to work a minimum of two days a week on site.
