Get paid to work in Halls

Want to earn money while living halls? Keep reading to know how! 👀

Whether it’s your first time in Halls or you are a returner, we welcome you to join the Student Experience Team within your Hall! Even if you haven’t been allocated yet.

Starting from the next academic year (2023/24), you will see a rebrand and restructure of the events and wellbeing programme for each hall. There will be a committee per hall and each committee will have four different roles. Committee size is dependant on hall, so not necessarily will all halls get 4.

Please note that these positions are only available to those living (or planning to live) in the following UAL Halls as of 2023/24: Archwood House, Gardens House, Portland House, Highline Building, Sketch House, Glassyard Building, Cordwainers Court and The Costume Store.

If you are planning to move in to any of the other halls, please check at the end for more information.

All roles will have flexible working hours that will allow you to combine university, work and your personal life in the way that suits you best.

You will also need to be registered with Arts Temps to be able to work and get paid. Check out our article ‘Get paid with Arts Temps’ to know how you can sign up, as well as the perks of signing up.
