Casual jobs - tax paying

First of all, I do apologise if I place this thread in the wrong place.

I'm going to university from September and I am not intending to have a part-time job (at least, for the time being - I need to settle in first) as I worry it will affect my studies too much, however I know I can do casual jobs at SU and the likes. How do I pay tax from such jobs? I know that with these jobs on their own I won't hit the threshold but I currently work full-time so I may go over 7k and need to pay tax. Any pointers, much appreciated.

    When I worked causally for my uni they either deducted basic income tax at source and I had to claim it back at the end of the tax year or they told me it was my responsibility to let HMRC know (not a problem as I have to self assess anyway). They also alerted HMRC to each their employees even if they didn't bother to manage the decutions for you.

    So it really depends on your specific employer and their procedure.
