Part-time work can be a useful way to earn money and gain experience while at university. Child Nursing student Abbi talks about finding work that fits around her studies, through ARU's campus employment bureau.
Being at university, especially doing a nursing course, can mean there is very little time for a part-time job and earning money. However, when I started at ARU, I was advised by other students to go the campus employment bureau, ARU Temps. They offer part-time work which is flexible and works well alongside studying.
I decided to go along and see what I could get involved with. I spoke to someone who explained all of the events I could get involved with, and the induction form.
The process was very quick. I had to fill out the induction form and take my passport in, then I could start working. I didn’t even have to have an interview, which was great. (However, there are some roles for which they ask you to go along for a quick interview after you apply.)
So, what sort of work is available? There's lots of part-time work for students, including the following roles.
I have worked at a number of events now including open days, nursing interviews, nursing test days, Reach for the Stars school outreach events, Into University events, and campus tours. I am currently a Digital Student Ambassador.
I would strongly recommend getting involved, as I have met lots of people through these events and I feel I have become so much more confident since doing so.
