What we do
- We advertise vacancies which in our opinion are relevant to Bath students’ and recent graduates’ aspirations and interests. We reserve the right to be selective.
- We edit vacancy submissions to fit a standard format.
- We advertise until the closing date has passed. If you don't give us a closing date, we will post advertisements as detailed in the table below, with the appropriate default closing date. Advertising may be extended or repeated at our discretion.

| Vacation work, work experience, volunteering , gap year opportunities | 3 months | |

- In order to justify our administration and to give students a reasonable time period to apply, we will not advertise unless your closing date is at least four weeks after the submission date.
- We contribute graduate vacancies to the GradSouthWest website which is provided by the careers services of the region to help students and graduates find jobs in the south west. If the location of your vacancies falls within the relevant geographical area, we post them on GradSouthWest in addition to our own website, unless you request otherwise.
- We do not advertise commission based jobs, or opportunities for which the postholder/student is charged or required to invest (except in the case of postgraduate study where the student will incur some expense). Certain gap year opportunities may be advertised at our discretion.
- We do not post advertisements for students to register with recruitment intermediaries. You may want to read our policy statement for recruitment intermediaries.
- We regret we cannot guarantee to acknowledge receipt.
We expect all opportunity providers and recruitment intermediaries to:
- Describe opportunities accurately and honestly
- Provide all key information as set out in our vacancy submission form below.
- Tell us if the vacancy fills before the end of the advertised period.
We expect recruitment intermediaries to:
- Inform us of the employer’s name, as vacancies are advertised under the employer’s name.
- Ensure that, where the intermediary is organising the whole recruitment campaign, we are notified of this by the client.
- Take note of our policy statement for recruitment intermediaries.
Submit
Please submit your vacancies via recruit@bath. You will need to register if you haven't used the system before.
By supplying your opportunity information to us, you consent to
us publishing it in the listings on our website, and on paper. The
normal medium is our website. We will edit this information to form
your entry in the listings. The data may remain live until our next
updating cycle, which takes place each summer, and may be filed for
students to browse.
If you have any queries then please contact one of the team at careers@bath.ac.uk or
telephone 01225 386009.
