Job description
Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) is a quadruple-accredited, world-ranked, management school. The service the LUMS Careers team provides is central to the student experience and this role plays a crucial part in our offer.
You will lead a team of high-performing professionals to design and deliver innovative careers education alongside in-depth, and bespoke, advice and guidance. The team works with students at all stages of undergraduate and postgraduate study including our suite of MBA programmes. The team includes job sector specific coaches as well as programme and cohort specific support.
You will have experience of team management in a careers/talent development/recruitment/HR setting including achieving results alongside colleagues that you do not line manage.
You will possess excellent organisational and communication skills and the ability to prioritise a demanding and varied workload. The ability to work with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders is essential to ensure our approach to careers and employability is innovative and meets the needs of all our students.
Ideally educated to degree level, with a relevant postgraduate qualification or extensive relevant experience, you will have a creative, engaging, and effective professional approach. Your previous experience will have equipped you for adapting flexibly to this role and you will be someone who thrives on change and seeks new challenges.
We are located in a beautiful part of North West England with great facilities and a warm and welcoming community. We offer an occupational pension scheme, a generous annual leave allowance, excellent training and development opportunities, flexible benefits, an employee assistance programme, and flexible working options.
If you share our commitment to excellent service and enjoy working in a fast-paced and friendly environment, we would love to hear from you.
We welcome applications from people in all diversity groups and those whose experience is outside of Higher Education.
This is a full-time indefinite post.
