Careers Service

It’s never too early to plan for your future and Bath Spa Careers is here to help you.  We aim to enhance your prospects and realise your career ambitions through making the best possible use of your time at university. We can help you in a variety of ways including careers advice, jobs and employer information, a checking service for CVs and job applications and providing advice on further study, working and studying abroad, and voluntary opportunities. We can also offer you help and guidance on finding and supporting both paid and unpaid placements. For further information, visit our website, www.bathspa.ac.uk/careers
 
We also know that, for many reasons, you may wish to combine paid employment while studying for your degree, and the Job Shop is Bath Spa’s in-house recruitment service which promotes and advertises quality, part-time, paid vacancies throughout term time for jobs both within the University and across the local area.

Bath Spa Plus is here to help you acquire essential personal and professional skills whilst at Bath Spa and equip you with invaluable tools and techniques for life beyond university.  You'll find employer events, workshops from Careers, sessions led by the Student Study Skills Centre, the Student Union and Just V – the University’s volunteering programme –and a host of other activities for you. Whether you want to acquire new skills or brush up existing ones, find out more at www.bathspa.ac.uk/plus
