I manage a team who run one of the most established placements schemes in UK higher education. My placements team works with you and our students to match the right candidate to the right company. I and my team collaborate with industrial partners to ensure effective recruitment. We ensure our students are achieving their full potential by delivering employability workshops and providing one-one guidance. We support employers to raise their profile on campus by organising presentations, skills sessions and departmental visits. We ensure placements are mutually beneficial to both student and employer by preparing our students for the transition to the workplace and remaining in contact with students and their supervisors throughout the placement year. We collaborate with academic colleagues to visit students on placement and guide them in writing a Professional Development Review to develop their employability skills and pave the way for Chartership. We have many long-term partnerships and are always keen to develop new relationships.
