What we offer you 

At Worklink, we put you and your studies first. That’s why we offer jobs that fit around student life and give you the skills you need to thrive. 

The benefits of working through Worklink

The University is a Disability Confident Employer. This means we are committed to recruiting and developing our disabled casual staff. As part of our membership, we guarantee an interview for disabled job applicants where they meet the minimum criteria for a post (the ‘guaranteed interview’ scheme).

 

Legal requirements

  • The University has a duty to prevent illegal working in the UK by carrying out prescribed document checks on people before employing them to ensure they are lawfully allowed to work. All students must register with Worklink at least 24 hours prior to commencing work.
  • The University must not offer or permit hours that would cause the student to be in breach of their visa conditions.  The Home Office consider this to be a breach of the Immigration Act, 1971 Section 25(1) – ‘Facilitating the commission of a breach of immigration law’.

Making Core Systems better for you

To enhance your user experience, we're currently updating Core Systems to a new version called Redwood. As improvements take place, you'll see new screens appear on Core, section by section.

You may already be familiar with the new Redwood screen, as we moved the 'Core Learn' and 'Time and Labour' modules to this new format earlier this year. As such, there is now a new look for timecards. For more information, check out our step-by-step timecard guidance.
