Student Job Search (SJS)

Student Job Search (SJS) supports organisations across New Zealand from our Wellington office. Our dedicated team specialises in connecting skilled individuals with opportunities in Non-profit & Charity, Education & Training, Operations, and Customer Service, focusing on roles that drive community impact and operational efficiency.

Student Job Search (SJS) is a not-for-profit organization in New Zealand, established in 1982. Owned by 18 student associations from leading universities and polytechnics, SJS connects tertiary students with employers to help alleviate student poverty by facilitating access to casual and part-time work. The organization operates independently and is funded by the New Zealand government based on the number of students placed in jobs each year.

SJS offers a free online job matching platform where current, intending, and graduate tertiary students can search and apply for various job opportunities. Employers can post job vacancies to reach a motivated pool of students. To access the service, students must provide proof of study, ensuring that SJS exclusively serves those in tertiary education. Since 2012, SJS has centralized its operations online, allowing students to apply for jobs digitally and maximizing their employment opportunities.
