Could you help our students achieve careers and jobs they love?

We are advertising this exciting new fixed term role (3 years) to create, maintain and facilitate vital work experience, internship, placement and graduate opportunities for University of Reading students, responding to the skills shortage in Film and High-End Television. This role will be pivotal in leveraging strong and mutually beneficial partnerships within the local and national creative industries, and also with key partners developed through newly established initiatives such as Cine Valley and the Berkshire Skills for Screen Cluster – supported by the BFI National Lottery Skills Cluster Fund – in which we are partners with Resource Productions and Shinfield Studios.

Working in the multi award-winning central careers team as part of the employer engagement team and alongside the placements team, the post holder will be responsible for building relationships within the industry, and increasing the uptake and quality of student placements, work experience and internships both in and outside of the curriculum and in line with the University’s aspirations for growth. In addition, this role is intended to contribute significantly to the future growth of University of Reading Graduates within the Film and Television sector.

Please take a look at the detailed job description via the link before completing an application.

You will have:

  • Strong knowledge of the TV, media and film Industries
  • Experience of facilitating student placements / internship schemes  or similar recruitment experience
  • Excellent time management skills, with the ability to prioritise and manage the workload independently and to manage multiple tasks or activities at one time
  • Effective communication skills at all levels, both written and oral
  • Ability to create and deliver workshops and facilitate large group training
  • Experience of working with students / adults in an advisory or support role

Student Services currently offer smart working arrangements where by, (following a 6 week induction period), staff may have the opportunity to work from home up to 40% of their working week. Whilst this is an informal arrangement, it is something the successful post-holder can benefit from, whilst remaining flexible around key event dates and the requirements of the role. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
