Now you’re finding your feet at the start of the new academic year, you may be thinking about getting a part-time job. There are lots of different part-time jobs available around Manchester. We advertise part-time jobs on our website all year round so have a look at the vacancies online. We get sent lots of different types of vacancies, from bar work, office work, hospitality jobs at local sporting venues, and much more.
Some jobs aren’t necessarily advertised on our website – for example, companies in the city centre might just put up a poster in the window as lots of people pass by. As well as looking at our website, keep your eyes peeled in the centre of Manchester and other popular areas (like Fallowfield) for adverts.
We are holding our Part-Time Jobs Fair on Thursday 2nd October at the Sugden Centre. You might see one of the postcards advertising the fair on campus – feel free to bring it along filled in on the day to make entry into the fair a little quicker. You’ll get a guide on the day and will have the opportunity to meet a number of employers offering part-time, casual or temporary work.
How To Get The Most Out Of Your Part Time Job
We’re also having a part-time jobs webchat on Monday 29th September where you can ask members of our part-time jobs team some of the questions you might have.
To apply for any part-time jobs you see, you’ll need to send a copy of your CV along with a covering letter or complete an application form from the employer. You need to make sure to tailor your application to the job you are applying for rather than sending the same thing out to each employer, as they may be looking for different things. For help with CVs and applications, check out the website and download some of our handouts.

Although it may not be related to your degree, a part-time job can provide practical experience that will add value to your CV. Working in a shop, bar, restaurant or office can give you many of the skills that graduate employers are looking for such as decision making, organisational and IT skills, team working, customer service and time management.

The University of Manchester recommends that students work for no more than 15 hours per week, or as advised in your programme handbook. This is so that you can achieve the right balance between your studies, other commitments and the need to earn money to support yourself.
Many jobs are never formally advertised, businesses may use social media, word of mouth or just a poster in the window. You may need to ask around or contact companies speculatively to see if there are opportunities.
You will not find part-time work available in all job roles that will fit in with you being a student. Some jobs you are simply not qualified to do yet, others simply can’t be done at weekends and evenings or on the days when you may be free.
