Part-time Jobs Fair

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 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. The most recent fair took place in the SU on the 17 January 2024.

If you missed the fair, you can still follow up with the employers by contacting them directly. If you need any help, just email the Employer Engagement team in the Careers Service at employers@rhul.ac.uk and we will be able to assist you.
