Q. What does the Jobshop do?
A. The JobShop acts as a liaison between potential employers and students who are looking for part time or temporary work to fit around their studies. We check that employers are paying the correct minimum wage and that the job is less than 20 hours per week during term time. We then pass brief details on to students. Students can then apply to those that look good for them. We also make sure that any suitable vacancies the University have are passed onto the students too.
Q. What type of work is available for students within the area?
A. There are all sorts of jobs around Gloucestershire and the JobShop encourages employers to consider students for every type of job. Last year we advertised over 1300 jobs from graphic designers, website builders, bar staff, call centre staff, customer service roles, sports coaches, health & care workers, sales jobs, promotional work, administrators and lots, lots more. We have also developed relationships with local agencies who we know understand students. These agencies are listed on the website and recruit all year round.

Q. What is JobShop Temps?
A. Launched in January 2009 your Students’ Union is piloting an internal student temp agency called JobShop Temps. The idea is to run an internal student temp agency to provide temp/casual student staff to the University. Previously the University had used outside agencies to fill temporary or casual positions. The Students' Union JobShop, working with the University, decided develop a service that would mean our own students would get the opportunity to fill these roles. The scheme will remain in a pilot stage until September 2010 and has proved to be a quiet success so far. Unfortunately the recession has had a negative impact on the number of temp/casual positions available and we are therefore not recruiting any new JobShop Temps at this time. JobShop Temps will continue to run and we can only see the number of opportunities growing so make sure you are kept up to date and subscribe to the JobShop to receive regular updates.
