The unofficial precursor to the Appointments Board, the Cambridge Appointments Association, was set up in 1899. The Board proper, providing careers guidance for male students, was established by University grace in 1902. H.A. Roberts was appointed secretary in May 1902, serving until 1932. The Women's Appointments Board was established in 1930 and, until the admission of women to full membership of the University in 1948, was conducted by Girton and Newnham Colleges from offices in London. Collaboration in the provision of services under one roof began in the 1950s; a common service has been provided since 1974. The organisation's name changed to the Careers Service in 1985; the board being replaced by a syndicate for governance purposes. In the wake of a service review in 2017, a Careers Service Committee was established as its executive body reporting jointly to the Council and General Board, supported in an advisory capacity by the Careers Service Syndicate. The organisation had offices at the following addresses: 73 Trumpington Street 1899-1904; 61 St Andrew's Street, 1904-34; Lensfield Road 1934-50; 6 Chaucer Road (with the Women's Appointments Board from 1950) 1950-76; Stuart House, Mill Lane, 1976-2019; Student Services Centre, New Museums Site, 2019- . The Women's Board had offices at the following addresses: London 1930-47; Emmanuel Road, Cambridge 1947-8; 18 Brookside, 1948-50.
