How to search for jobs

From the opportunities tab

• Search ‘graduate job’ for graduate-level jobs, graduate schemes, internships and national and international volunteering.
• Search ‘work experience’ for gap year opportunities, summer/other vacation jobs, shorter industrial placements (less than 12 months). For 12 month sandwich placements contact your placements team.

• Search ‘voluntary placement’ or go direct to the Placements tab for Active Student volunteering opportunities.
• Search ‘casual/part-time’ for student jobs on campus, Student Ambassador work, paid work in your local area and one-off project based roles.

How to get the most from the vacancy service 

• Set up email alerts to keep you informed when relevant opportunities are advertised.
• Keep your search preferences up to date to make sure you get alerts on jobs you're interested in.
