Alex Carroll - Careers Consultant

As Careers Consultant I manage the College Careers Team, acting as a liaison between Careers Network and senior staff within the College, ensuring we have the space and resources to provide high quality careers guidance and opportunities to students.

Gagan Dosanjh - Careers Adviser

I support students and graduates in developing career strategies through individual one to one appointments and group work. I support students in generating career ideas by assessing their options, interests, abilities and skills and advising on how to explore opportunities for graduate employment, further study and training.

Helen Hobson - Internship Officer

Currently on maternity leave - As an Internship Officer, I support students and graduates in finding relevant and valuable work experience to help them reach their career goal. I also work very closely with employers both in the UK and overseas to help them develop and advertise their opportunities to students from the university.

Mairead Paillette - Placements Officer

I support the delivery of the Professional Development Module for final-year undergraduates in the College of Social Sciences. I support students in finding and applying to internal and external opportunities. I also provide 1-1 support for the Self Reflective Journal assignment in addition to creating and delivering workshops and lectures on skills development and self-reflective writing.

Louise Munday - Placements Administrator

I am the first port of call for students, staff and employers enquiring about the Professional Development module. I manage the administrative processes for module registration, engagement with employers, placement applications, risk assessments, assignment marking and examination boards.
