Promoting your career opportunities via the UEA Careers Service website - MyCareerCentral

The University of East Anglia (UEA) Careers Service has a free online resource -'MyCareerCentral' for organisations who want to advertise opportunities to UEA students and graduates.

UEA MyCareerCentral offers a quick and easy-to-use service which allows you to:

Update and maintain your organisation information and contact details with your own User ID and on the go, via your smart phone or tablet.
Save time when inputting opportunities, as your company information will already be stored on the system.
Supply details of part time jobs, internships, graduate and volunteering opportunities and, with a reduced turnaround time, you can reach your audience more quickly.
Receive automatic reminders when your opportunity is nearing its closing date.
Experience greater flexibility in managing your opportunities online.
Reach students and graduates 24/7 and all year round via their mobile devices.

Please note that due to issues that have arisen in the past with regard to insurance cover and current Disclosure and Barring Service requirements for roles that involve working in private homes they are unable to advertise these roles where this is required. Also their policy is not to place generic adverts from care agencies on the website, where there are no specific vacancies for specific named clients, and where there is no guarantee of work.
