What's your side of the deal?

The aim of the UWESU Jobshop is to assist employers with part-time/holiday, casual and temporary vacancies make contact with appropriate students who are looking for work. The Jobshop will not enter into contracts with students or employers. Contracts of employment are to be agreed directly between employer and student and the Jobshop will only become involved in this when the employer is UWESU. As such, the role of the Jobshop might be best understood as being more similar to a job centre rather than a commercial employment agency.
