We are here to help both
students and graduates by providing employment opportunities which
enable employers to fill their vacancies quickly and successfully
with suitable University of Westminster candidates.
Before applying to any advertised positions, applicants should
be aware of the following points:
All current
students and recent graduates are able to register
with Career Development Centre and access full details of all
jobs advertised through our vacancy system. Your
University login will remain active for 18 months after
you leave the University.
All job vacancies are advertised
in good faith, based on information received from
employers. We cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies
and you should check the accuracy of the information before
accepting an offer of employment.
To maximise your chances of
finding the right vacancy, be sure to read the advert carefully and
ensure that you have the relevant skills and experience required
for a particular job. If you do not do this, you will
seriously decrease your chances of finding suitable work.
If applying for part time work
during term time, carefully consider your own study commitments and
make sure before applying for a job, that it does
not compromise your studies. We recommend that full-time
students only work a maximum of 20 hours per week during term
time.
Always try and give at least 24
hours notice if you are unable to attend an interview with an
employer. In the case of an emergency always
telephone the employer.
If you do not attend an interview
or fail to turn up for work without first contacting the employer
with an explanation, it makes you look unprofessional. It also
damages the reputation of the University of Westminster and
its students. Such behaviour may result in your use of this
service being restricted or you could be removed from our student
database altogether.
Once you have accepted a job,
always get a copy of the terms and conditions
including hours to be worked, dates of employment, rate of
pay, duties and responsibilities, amount of notice to be given by
the employee and the employer agreed in writing before you
start. If you accept an on-going position, discuss flexible
working arrangements during the exam period in advance.
If you are dissatisfied with an
employer and wish to make a complaint, you should email us at
careers@westminster.co.uk
and we will be able to advise you on what to do next. Please
note that although we are happy to give advice and to approach an
employer for an explanation of their behaviour, we are unable to
represent you legally and will direct you to the Citizens Advice Bureau or
other relevant agencies for further help.
Please ensure your contact details
are kept up to date. If we do not have this information from
you, we will not be able to contact you with details of
suitable work.
We will not disclose your personal
details to employers unless you give us permission to do so.
