If you’re successful in your application, a member of the Talent Acquisition Team will be in touch with you to let you know that you have been shortlisted and to discuss the next steps of the process.

We’re a values-based employer and, while we of course require a certain level of skill and experience for each role, we’re also looking for people who can demonstrate our values: Challenge the Ordinary, Unite as One, Lead with Heart, and Stay on Point.
The interview process will depend on the role you’re applying for. We use a combination of telephone, Teams, and face-to-face interviews, assessment centres, and skills-based assessments. Although we generally use a standard two-stage interview process, we may adjust it to ensure we’re acting appropriately for each role.
You should expect to meet friendly, passionate, open and informative people who are keen to learn more about you and your background. There’ll be lots of questions – technical, situational, competency and values-based – as well as the opportunity for you to find out more about the role and Unite Students as a company. Your interview is likely to last around an hour. If there are to be any assessments during the interview, the Talent Acquisition Team will let you know in advance.
If you’re applying for a role as a qualified Electrician or Plumber, you’ll be required to bring your actual certificates to the interview. We cannot offer Electrician or Plumber jobs without these.
If there are any tests or assessment exercises during the interview, the Talent Acquisition Team will let you know in advance.
We offer a variety of internships and placement schemes, all of which are on our careers page. Further information can be found here.
We don’t cover candidates’ travel expenses to and from an interview unless the circumstances are unusual, for example, if we ask you to attend an interview in a location other than one local to the role.
Hours of work will vary depending on your role. Specific working hours are detailed on our job adverts.
We have frequent contact with our customers, and some roles require you to wear a smart-casual uniform. Where a uniform is required, or if your role requires protective clothing, we’ll provide it.
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a variety of benefits. These vary depending on the role and the position level. For more information, visit our what we offer page.
