Employability Practitioner

The opportunity

The Employability Practitioner will act as lead contact for Careers and Employability at Central Saint Martins (CSM). They will work between CSM, home and our High Holborn offices. They’ll design and deliver employability-focussed workshops and resources to support students. The post holder will innovate subject matter, and develop imaginative ways to deliver content online and in person.

The role is part of the Education and Support team within Careers and Employability. We’re a small and diverse team who centre inclusivity in our working practices and our approaches to supporting students. While we come together regularly as a team, you’ll also be comfortable working independently at CSM in a supported, but self-directed, fashion.

About you

Combining your creativity with a desire to support the development of others, you will have the confidence to teach large groups of students, as well as supporting students in a one-to-one capacity.

You will have an interest in creative practice, perhaps with your own first-hand experience as an artist or creative practitioner – but this is not essential. You’ll enjoy problem-solving, meeting new people, motivating others and helping individuals identify their values and strengths. You’ll also enjoy experimenting with novel approaches to teaching employability and you’ll feel at home working with a team that will support you to develop and challenge your own teaching practice.
