About Unitemps

Find out about Unitemps, the in-house service we use to facilitate the majority of our student employment in ISG.

As one of the most prominent student employers within the University, the Information Services Group are proudly committed to student employment across all key departments. Employability is an important factor in the student experience, and not only does student employment offer valuable work experience, students are also the main consumers of our services across ISG. Employing them to work on projects designed for them gives us invaluable insight into shaping these services. 

ISG launched Unitemps Edinburgh in June 2020 to facilitate student employment within the group. Unitemps Edinburgh is designed to improve the student experience of employment in ISG, to increase the support available to students while they work, and to create efficiencies that encourage the creation of more student jobs. 

Since opening in 2020, we have filled over 1200 student staff assignments. We have offered positions to students of each year stage: both part-time during the academic year, and a combination of part and full-time during our yearly summer internship programme.
