Our Student Jobshop
If you are promoting vacancies for undergraduates, our Student Jobshop team will ensure that your vacancies are displayed in the Student Jobshop window, as well as advertised on myVacancies. They will also support the promotion of your opportunities by raising the profile of your vacancies through the face-to-face assistance which they provide to students who are looking for work.
Jobs can be offered on a permanent or temporary basis, to fill a gap at short notice or meet an impending deadline. Students are often prepared to work the hours other employees may not wish to work, e.g. evenings and weekends. They are also very interested in seasonal vacancies which can help them make the most of their vacation periods. A number of courses at the University of Sheffield also offer students the opportunity to benefit from a year-out in industry as part of their course (a ‘Degree with Employment Experience’).
Important: Students can work full-time during vacations, however, we advise those on full-time courses to work a maximum of 16 hours per week during term-time.
