Looking for part-time work or a summer job to complement your education? King’s students have numerous paths to seek paid practical experience.
The Student Employment Board lists opportunities below that are available to King’s students.
Deadline to apply: December 19, 2025
Department: Facilities Management
Reports To: Director of Facilities Management, under direction of Rochelle Owen, Project Lead (Sharable Business Case Project)
Employment Type: Part-Time, Fixed Term (December 2025 – May 2026)
Salary: King’s student employment rate (minimum wage + $0.50)
The Canada Green Building Council’s “A Roadmap for Retrofits” and other reports show that limited financing capacity is a major barrier to “deep retrofit” projects of existing building to make them more sustainable. This challenge is also present in Nova Scotia, especially for smaller institutions and building owners who need help developing financing strategies for large climate-related building projects.
This project aims to address that barrier by creating sharable tools, templates and governance approaches that make business cases easier to develop and help organizations access internal and external funding. This work also supports stronger institutional planning and evidence-based decision-making.
The University of King’s College, in partnership with Rochelle Owen Consulting, will research and create these tools, using King’s as the case study to develop the materials. Two King’s students will be hired for approximately 180 hours each between December 2025 and May 2026 to contribute to research, resource development and analytical support.

Exhibition Content Developer, Discovery Centre, through a King's Undergraduate Fellowship in Public Humanities
King’s students have the opportunity to work in almost every area of university life, and even beyond the university through facilitated internships and fellowships. Typical jobs include peer mentor, fundraising campaign caller, residence junior don, reporter for the communications team, fitness centre attendant and athletics photographer, just to name a few.
If you are looking for an opportunity to work as an assistant to a professor, look for the Student Assistantship Program (SAP) listings at the beginning of fall, winter, and summer term. Successful candidates will be paired with a faculty supervisor to work on a project such as academic research, publication preparation, new course development, journalistic projects, academic and cultural events, outreach, or archival work. These positions are light on hours—just 30h completed over a term, usually according to the student’s preference—so they offer the opportunity to gain career-building academic experience and skills, while making a minimal impact on study time.
Students have the opportunity to work on campus at one of three student-owned and operated businesses: the King’s Co-op Bookstore, the Wardroom (student lounge) and the Galley (coffee shop). Ask at these locations about openings.
King’s also coordinates several funded summer internships and part-time work experiences at external organizations and businesses that will offer students the opportunity to experience for themselves the value of their liberal arts education.
The King’s Undergraduate Fellowships in Public Humanities is an opportunity to do an experiential learning internship at an organization or business that brings the humanities to bear on the world.
The Scotia Scholars Award, funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, is a funded opportunity for two undergraduate students at King’s to be the principal investigator on their own research study in the area of health research.
King’s encourages all student employees to use this workbook as a template for planning, documenting, and reflecting on their work experience. The goal of this document is to help elevate all student work experiences to work-integrated learning, so that students can maximize their personal and professional growth while supported by their university.
