The Pre H.E Careers Team provide specialist impartial careers information, advice and guidance to prospective and potential higher education students through interactive workshops and one to one guidance (by email, phone and face to face).
Working with students in schools and colleges in the region, the role of the Pre HE Careers Adviser is to engage students to consider their options and research their choices to enable them to make informed decisions.
Keeping up to date with the choices after post 18 education and the graduate job market is important to ensure the specialist information which the team provide is current.
Undertaking research and writing short reports for the wider team to consider on current employability trends enables the team to keep up to date.
A flexible and adaptable approach to work is important as activities and locations vary in one week.
Building relationships with the wider teams at UWE are important and representing the Pre HE Team at UWE or at external events is part of the role.
Experience of working in schools and influencing a school approach to Pre-HE preparation is important.
Having worked with students from a range of different ages, backgrounds and situations is helpful in understanding different approaches to career decision making.
In addition, experience of designing and delivering creative workshop activities with students is essential and in addition, facilitating workshops with staff (e.g. teachers) to equip them with the knowledge and skills required to work with students who could apply to higher education is also useful.
Understanding quality standards for careers information, advice and guidance in the context of learning and work is key to understand and in particular, how the team's activities fit in within the wider context.
A Postgraduate qualification in Careers Guidance or equivalent is essential.
This post also requires an enhanced DBS clearance.

• up to 12.5 bank holiday/closure days per year in addition;
• flexible working;
• excellent defined benefit pension schemes;
• option to participate in the cycle to work scheme;
• family friendly policies;

This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give our students access to everything they need to succeed - with GBP300m being spent on new state-of-the-art learning spaces and accommodation between now and 2020 to enhance our offer even further. Frenchay campus is within close proximity to excellent motorway links and within walking distance of two train stations, making UWE Frenchay Campus the ideal place to work for those wishing to commute to Bristol.
We are a well-established university, with over 27,000 students, 250,000 alumni and 3,000 staff. Students come to study with us from all over the UK, as well as from 140 different countries around the world, making this a diverse and interesting place to come and study.
