As your Students' Union, we endeavour to provide you with a diversity of opportunities for you to enhance your learning and development and to help you prepare for and accelerate in your chosen field.
We are working closely with the University of Plymouth Careers Service to ensure all students are aware of the opportunties, resources, and support available to you when searching for paid work alongside your studies, workplace opportunties, or skills development workshops and events.
Are you a University of Plymouth student who is starting to think about what you might want to do after your degree finishes?
Do you want a full-time, generously paid job with excellent training opportunities that allow you to grow and develop career-enhancing skills in a professional, supportive environment?
Do you enjoy living in Britain's Ocean City and think you might want to live in Plymouth for a while after your studies come to an end?
If you answered yes to any of these three questions, then we have the perfect opportunity for you here at the SU to become a Sabbatical Officer 2024/25!
