The Students\' JobShop is a non-profit organisation based at Aston University, located just minutes from Birmingham city centre.  One of our aims is to highlight the existence of students as a valuable resource for local employers.

If your organisation has part time jobs please let us know. We will need details about the type of work on offer, the location, the hours involved, the rate of pay and how to contact your company.

Your advert will be placed onto our notice-board and onto our website. The advert will remain open for a 4 week period unless you contact us to say that the vacancy is filled. After 4 weeks the advert will automatically be removed. If you want to renew the advert, just let us know.
