Where to Find Student Part Time Jobs

It can be hard to know where to start when looking for a job. The

Student Saviour Jobs Finder

is a great way for you to find the latest listings for jobs in your city. Whether you want to work in a bar, coffee shop, retail, or build you experience in a field related to your degree with an internship,

there will be something on there that best suits you. 

 If you can't find anything on our website, you can always look at your university’s website to see if there are any jobs listings in the student union- this is a great way to get more involved at university, and it can fit around your university schedule perfectly. 

If you fancy hitting the streets and finding a job for yourself, you can alway go into your local pubs, bars, coffee shops etc… and see if they have any jobs going. Although this can be daunting, it is a great way to boost your confidence, which can help you when applying for jobs. You can also ask your friends or family members if they know of anyone who is hiring, sometimes this can be a great way of working somewhere you otherwise would not have applied to.

Best Jobs for Students

So, what are the best jobs for students? Well, it depends what you like to do, and what best suits your schedule. 

  • Bar Work

     – if you don’t mind working late nights, working in a student bar or club would be perfect for you. 

  • Coffee Shop 

    – if late nights aren’t for you, and you’re more of a morning person, working in a coffee shop would be a good idea. 

  • Restaurant

     – being a waitress or a waiter is a great way to earn some extra money whilst at uni! Working in a restaurant is also perfect as you can boost your wage as you can get tips while working as well. 

  • Club Promoter 

    – similar to working in the bar, you can earn money by being a club promoter. 

  • Student Union

     – there are so many jobs in your student union that you can apply for and get involved in. You can build your experience in fields such as administration, marketing, social media and more!

  • Deliveroo Driver

There are loads of different job opportunities for students! It is great for you to get involved with jobs outside of university as this will help you interact with a variety of people, and will help you get to know your new city. Having a part time job will help you gain valuable skills and experience that will help you after university. 

If you are yet to start university and are looking into what degree you would like to do, here is a list of the highest paying degrees.
