Useful info

  • Be realistic about how much time you can spend working and what this will mean for your budget. If you need to spend holiday time doing work experience or revision, you may not have much time available. Try to plan ahead.
  • Don't go head first into a job. Settle in, review your workload and then see what you can fit in.
  • Look out for posters at university for money-earning opportunities or ask you university job shop for advice.
  • Think about whether you will benefit from a job related to your course or a job in a different area which will give you a change and the chance to learn other skills.
  • Retail jobs give flexible shift work. If you work for a big chain store, you may be able to get transferred to another location in the holidays if you need.
  • If evening or weekend fits in best, catering and hospitality jobs may suit. Ask at the student union for jobs as they'll be flexible and on campus.
  • If you work as a student ambassador for your university, the work is flexible - you can sign up for jobs when you want. They'll understand your study commitments.
  • For medical related jobs, you could work as a medical secretary, hospital healthcare assistant, medical lab assistant or in a care home.
  • Always tell your employer that your timetable changes so they are prepared.
