Frequently asked questions
Essentials training
Important information about training before starting your campus job
If you're starting a Campus Jobs role on or after 1 August 2025, you’ll need to complete some Essentials training before you begin work. This is required for all student roles (unless the role is under five working days – see below).
What training do I need to complete?
You’ll be paid to complete the following training modules:
- GDPR (data protection and privacy)
- Prevent (safeguarding and awareness)
- Equality and Diversity
- Health and Safety (includes things like fire safety and display screen equipment)
How much time does the training take?
- For most roles: You’ll need to complete 4.5 hours of training.
- For short roles (under 5 working days): Only 30 minutes of training is required.
Why is this important?
As a Campus Jobs student, you're considered a member of staff, and it's important that you have the same access to training as other employees. This helps protect both you and the University while you're in your role.
Pension
The Government's auto-enrolment pension scheme will affect some Campus Jobs workers. Read this information from the University Finance Service for more information about pensions and auto-enrolment.
