Part-time Jobs Festival

Online Part-time Jobs Festival - 20 January 2021

We hold our Part-time Jobs Fairs at the beginning of the autumn and spring terms, where you can find out about part-time and seasonal vacancies that you can do to support your time at University, and build on your career skills. We advertise roles on campus and in the local area, as well as some remote opportunities.

This academic year, we are running our fairs as online festivals.
