University Regulations permit students to work for up to 20 hours per week during term time, actual availability depends on their individual timetable and commitments (such as skill-enhancing Clubs and Societies), visa restrictions, or supporting themselves through their studies.

A student will see themselves as an employee and a member of your organisation.

Casual work is a two-way relationship between the individual and their employer.

Depending on their availability, students access casual work via all the traditional routes (jobs pages, speculative applications, phone calls, networking through friends and family) but you can also advertise for free through myAdvantage or use Unitemps for a more proactive recruitment service.

All workers are entitled to the National Minimum WageLink opens in a new window (or National Living Wage if they are 21+). You will need to allow time for recruitment, induction/training and ongoing management/supervision of the student, as well as their pay. You will need to ensure that they have appropriate access to equipment (e.g. computer) and a workstation.
