Do you want to join the management of a
university that is consistently rated amongst the best in the world?
Imperial College London is looking to recruit
recent graduates to its Graduate Management Trainee Scheme, designed to provide
candidates without extensive professional experience with an introduction to
university management. Previous management trainees have successfully
progressed to a wide range of managerial and specialist roles across the
College – discover their stories and
find out more about the scheme on
our website.
As a management trainee, you will undertake a
series of placements across the College, working with senior
management, enhancing your personal development
and gaining a wealth of experience. You will take an active role in
working on some of the most important strategic issues within the College, and will
be required to prioritise diverse and challenging workloads to produce work of
the highest standard. In addition, you will attend various professional
development courses and may be offered the opportunity to undertake external
study.
You should possess, or expect to achieve this
year, a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in any discipline. You
should also have graduated from higher education within the last three years
(since the summer of 2017) or be due to graduate in summer 2020. You will also
be considered if you have recently obtained Master’s or
PhD qualifications. Find out more about our eligibility criteria on our website.
Once the application window has closed,
applicants will be shortlisted and a small proportion of them will be invited
for interview. We receive a very high number of applications every year, with
over 700 applications last year. To make sure your application stands
out, you need to demonstrate how you meet the key skills and qualities outlined
in the person specification.
Shortlisted applicants are likely to be invited
to interview in the week commencing 30 March 2020.
The Scheme will commence on 24 September
2020. Successful applicants will be awarded a three-year fixed-term contract,
with a starting salary of £32,850. Subject to a successful performance review after
12 months, trainees will be promoted to the next salary grade, starting at
£38,006.
Salaries quoted may increase by any cost of
living award implemented by the College in 2020.

the scheme - including the person specification, FAQs and 2020 scheme
