University of Suffolk Job Board

The Careers, Employability and Enterprise Team is here to help employers with your recruitment by connecting you with students and graduates who are looking for work. Our jobs platform, Handshake, is the one-stop shop for all students and graduates to interact with employer opportunities.

We are pleased to be able to offer this service to all employers completely free of charge. We want to ensure that our students and graduates have access to as many opportunities as possible from across Ipswich, Suffolk, the UK and around the world, and that there is no cost barriers to organisations who may have limited recruitment budgets. 

Our free to advertise, online job board:

  • Helps employers recruit graduates to graduate level full-time or part-time, permanent or fixed term employment.
  • Connects students with employers recruiting for internships, work placements, summer placements, part-time roles, and casual/temporary employment.
  • Enables charities and voluntary organisations to advertise paid and voluntary roles.
  • Provide organisations with a platform to promote recruitment events, including insight days, webinars and specialist brand awareness activities. 
  • Promotes opportunities offered by University of Suffolk internal departments to our students and graduates.  (All University of Suffolk departments are encouraged to advertise vacancies suitable for students with the service).
  • Enables students and organisations to connect with one another directly through Handshake (students must opt in to this service).

If you have any queries about this or the other promotional services we offer employers, including careers fairs, employer presentations and live project briefs, please contact us on 01473 338840 or connect@uos.ac.uk, and we will be happy to help.
