Permissions required to obtain prior to work
- You must check with your studentship sponsor, grant holder or supervisor to make sure that they are happy for you to undertake this work
Student Visa Holders
Student visas impose strict restrictions on working in the UK. If you hold a Student Visa, you must adhere to these restrictions. Your entry clearance vignette (visa sticker in your passport) or your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) will tell you if you are allowed to work. For more information on the restrictions when working at the University of Edinburgh, please visit our Working in the UK during studies web page.

 

Appointment Process

If successful, you will only be allocated a Teaching Support role, AFTER your ID and Right to Work checks have been verified

The Course lecturers are responsible for the appointment of applicants to roles, however these will not appear on your timesheets until Teaching Support Admin have been notified.  Once lecturers have made these decisions, they notify the Informatics Student Services Team who record the appointment on the system.  You will receive confirmation of your appointments automatically via email, including details of the hours associated with the particular post. Should you be appointed to more than one role, you will receive an automated email for each post.  If you have not heard whether you have been successful in a particular role, please contact Informatics Student Services in the first instance via email - teaching-support@inf.ed.ac.uk.
