Part-Time Jobs

Doing well at University is a great start to a fulfilling career but a degree alone is not enough to secure a good job on graduating. Graduate employers can be very demanding! As well as looking for evidence of your academic achievement, they want you to have gained work experience and developed a range of skills which will allow you to make an early and positive contribution on starting your first graduate job.

Part-time work not only helps with paying for books, bills, nights out and other University essentials - it also enables you to gain valuable life skills and to improve your graduate employability.

You will find all of our part-time jobs adevertise on Jobs Direct. Local employment agencies may also have part-time vacancies (see below for contact details of recruitment agencies in the area).
