Are you a University of Leeds graduate (or about to graduate) looking for a 12 month internship with a focus on helping other graduates gain positive outcomes after university? Do you have strong communication skills, and a desire to help other graduates?
We are looking for a hard-working and organised graduate to join the Careers Services' dedicated Graduate Support Team.
