Applying for a campus job requires the same care you should give to any job application. Read the advertisement carefully and provide all the information requested. Don't forget to provide contact details. You might want to use the CV 360 tool on Solent Futures Online to check your CV is ready to be submitted before applying for a campus job.
You can access further support on CVs and applications here.
Depending on the role, you may be contacted to be interviewed for the role. We advise you practice using Interview360 on Solent Futures Online to help you prepare, or book a mock interview with one of our Careers Advisers on Solent Online Learning.
If you are an international student, you may have restrictions on how many hours you can work. Check out our page that covers general issues on visas and working in the UK.
"I expected to work a few open days and the Freshers' Fayre but this role has enabled me to access a variety of opportunities including filming promotional content for Solent, being a panel member during live Q&As, and writing blogs for the Solent website." Zoe, 2nd year student

I was sick for the days I was due to work – will I still get paid?
You are not entitled to company sick pay but you may be entitled to statutory sick pay dependant on your previous earnings at the University.
To be eligible for statutory sick pay (SSP) you must be sick for four calendar days or more and have average weekly earnings of £120 in the two pay periods prior to your period of sickness. If eligible, you will receive £13.69 SSP per day from day four of your sickness (£95.85 per week). For further details please contact a member of the payroll team.
In order to determine this, you must enter details of your sickness on MyView, for all CALENDAR days you were absent. If you are sick for more than seven calendar days you must obtain a fit note from you GP. Please contact your line manager for instruction on how to send this securely and confidentially to the payroll department at Solent.
I would like a reference for the work that I did for Campus Jobs
Please email payroll@solent.ac.uk who will be able to provide your employer with the dates that you worked. You may want to ask your supervisor if they will write you a reference for your LinkedIn profile after you have completed your Campus Jobs role.
