We are the student employment service based at Newcastle University's Students' Union. We offer a range of services to current undergraduates and postgraduates including advertising hundreds of part-time, temporary and vacation positions in the Newcastle area. The Student Job Shop has been developed in response to the increasing number of students having to seek employment whilst at university. The Job Shop is a Student Employment Service, acting as an information exchange (rather than an employment agency) between students seeking temporary and part-time work, and employers seeking temporary or part-time workers.
We are based on the first floor of the Union Society building and are open in both term time and vacation periods.

Job Shop opening times over the summer vacation

Notice to UK students living at home over the summer
If you are not going to be staying in Newcastle over the summer, you can still probably use the services at another Job Shop near to you! Most of the Job Shops have agreed to let students from other universities use their services. Be sure to bring your university card with you!
