Bristol Work - English Grammar - Englische Grammatik

  

WORK


We understand that many of our students want to better their English to improve their job prospects and some want to stay and work in the UK and maybe even in Bristol. 
Bristol is a prosperous city with relatively low unemployment, especially in the Clifton area, so it is comparatively easy for you to find a part-time job, provided you are legally allowed to work, you have at least an intermediate level of English, a smile on your face and you don’t mind what you do!

The Regulations:  

Only students from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein may work in the UK. Students from other countries are not allowed to work, unless they have a Youth Mobility Visa or,  where applicable, a Tier 4 General Student Visa as per the conditions granted with this visa when they enter the UK.

ELC Job Club:

Students who are entitled to work in the UK and would like help to find a job in the UK can join the ELC job club. On Wednesdays for 1 hour after school - every 2 weeks (3 weeks in every 4 during the summer courses). Runs in cycles with 3 sessions per cycle. Aims to help students who are entitled to work in the UK find a job. We also offer some 1:1 support to help students with CVs and cover letters.We have put together some very useful study materials and background information. We do arrange job placements directly but with the information and support from our Job Club teacher, many of our students have found work in Bristol and other cities.

Getting a National Insurance Number

If you want to work, you need to get a National Insurance Number as soon as possible.  Although you are allowed to work without a national insurance number for up to 6 months, if you do not have a national insurance number, you will be taxed at the emergency rate (higher rate).  To apply for a national insurance number, you must telephone the department of Work and Pensions 0845 6000643.  They will ask you a few questions: name, address in Bristol, postcode etc, then they will give you a reference number and arrange an interview with you in the City Centre at Eagle House, Saint Stephens Street, Bristol BS1 1EN.  At the interview, you will have to show your passport and also confirmation of your postal address in Bristol.  They will then send you a national insurance number in the post.  The process normally takes up to six weeks.
The ELC web site shows you how to write a simple CV and the language you may need when applying for a job.  We also keep a register of places where our students have worked in the past.

There are 3 different types of work:

1. CASUAL PAID WORK

Wages start from £6.50 per hour - the minimum wage for people over 21.
(£5.13 per hour - the minimum wage for 18 to 20 year olds). 

It is relatively easy to find work either in a bar, restaurant or shop. 
You should look at the school notice board and also at the small advertisements in the windows of the local ‘corner shops’.  You can also go to the local Job Centre on Queen’s Road, or to one of the many Employment Agencies.

3. PROFESSIONAL WORK PLACEMENTS

After finishing their course at ELC Bristol some students go to work in companies specifically related to their own professions. Work is generally unpaid but it can be excellent experience.  Placements are not arranged by the school but by a professional work placement company.  The fee for finding such a job starts from around £450 but varies according to the job type, location and the length of the internship or work experience.
Professionals UK provide internships or work placements and can also arrange accommodation. All of this can be organised at the time of enrolment at ELC Bristol, or while you are studying here. Of course some notice will be required, especially for more difficult placements. For more details, please see the link below.
