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 in all our directorates. 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 that are designed for them gives us invaluable insight in shaping these services. 

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

The Chief Information Officer and Librarian to the University, Gavin McLachlan, explains why employing students is a key priority for ISG and the University:
