The Employer Services Team – part of Careers & Enterprise

The Employer Services Team at Durham University is responsible for working with businesses of all sizes and from all industries to support you with recruitment into early careers roles such as graduate jobs, sandwich placement years and summer internships. We’re especially keen to support small and medium sized enterprises to access talent from Durham University, and run a series of events and activities throughout the academic year allowing you to meet and recruit Durham University students.

We’re always happy to spend time talking to you about how we can support your search for the next generation of talent, from advertising vacancies to supporting you to set up a graduate scheme, and everything in between!

Some of the services we provide to small and medium sized businesses include:

• Supporting you to create engaging and attractive job descriptions
• Providing free of charge interview and assessment space on-campus
• Advising on recruitment timelines
• Sharing intelligence about the skills, experience, interests and expectations of students
• Advising on typical salary levels
• Free of charge access to our annual recruitment events, including our career fairs
• Supporting with recruitment into part-time roles for students in the local Durham area
• Signposting to support available elsewhere in the University and externally
