The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

 

King’s Careers & Employability (KC&E) empowers over 40,000 students, researchers, and alumni to succeed after university. As a dynamic, cross-institutional service, we deliver inclusive, innovative, and future-focused support through digital, campus-based, and global initiatives. By integrating employability across the student experience, and collaborating with internal and external partners, KC&E equips our community with the skills, confidence, and connections to shape meaningful futures and make a lasting impact.  

 

We pride ourselves on being the trusted partner of choice in sourcing and developing talent for organisations around the world. Our Work-based Learning unit brings together our Work-related Learning and Global Placements teams, supporting students and employers to undertake meaningful work experiences across a range of provision, developing innovative partnerships and opportunities for key student demographics.

We are part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.

The Work-Based Learning Senior Support Officer provides critical operational and administrative support across the University’s portfolio of non-clinical work-related learning activity, including internships, placements, the Insights programme and related experiential learning opportunities, providing an efficient and effective service within established frameworks and procedures.

 

The role ensures that high-quality programming is delivered proficiently and compliantly, meeting the needs of students, employer partners, and internal stakeholders– enabling and equipping them to gain the knowledge, attributes, skills and experience to access and successfully undertake meaningful work-based learning experiences as part of their King’s studies or research.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to develop skills around administration, project management and event delivery alongside delivering directly to a range of stakeholder and student/researcher audiences.

 

We encourage applications from candidates who have experience from both within and outside of the Higher Education sector where they can demonstrate the skills needed to succeed in this role 

 

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week) requiring regular engagement on campus,​ but we welcome applications from candidates seeking a flexible working pattern within necessary service operating norms. Some evening and weekend working will be necessary throughout the year.

 

This is a fixed-term contract until 22 January 2027 to cover an internal secondment.
