The Very Best Part-Time Student Jobs Leeds Can Offer

Have you ever wondered what part-time student jobs Leeds has to offer? Have you ever wondered what’s the BEST part-time job? Could it be flyering, working in a bar, a cafe, a hotel or a restaurant?  Of course you have. But that’s not an easy question to answer. It’s like asking, “What is the best pint of larger in the Universe?” There is no “best” because every student is different. Still, here are some ideas to consider when looking for part-time work.

From June to August, demand for student summer jobs in Leeds is high. Both part-time and permanent positions become open as early as November, but there’s still plenty of part-time jobs available all year round if you know where to look. The obvious choices are pubs, bars, clubs, and restaurants.

The Pack Horse, for instance, is a friendly, quiet pub, where you can chat with regulars without taking your student job too seriously. Keep in mind though that Leeds on a Friday is busy. Even the quietest pub can become a bit of a shambles. Then again, the busier the pub gets, the more exciting work becomes!

Mixing “business with pleasure” is almost inevitable with a part-time student Leeds bar job. At the Faversham and you are guaranteed to find yourself moving to the beat, during glass collecting, of your favourite song. The only problem with clubs is that you will work late hours, but if you can fit the shifts around your timetable – you’re in for a good time.

Chain restaurants are known for their good tips. Wagamama’s hourly pay makes up £10, half in tips. Intrigued? As a member of staff you will also get free delicious food, so you can dine ‘til dawn! If you would rather work in a smaller, restaurant with a more intimate atmosphere – La Caferiere is a place for you. Although the pay would not be as extravagant as one at a chain restaurant, the attraction is one of a slower pace, which will enable you to make friends with the chefs and take pleasure in the sight of glowing candles.

Department stores such as Dabenhams, House of Fraser and Marks and Spencer will suit those of you who are only looking for a part-time student job. Leeds stores mostly offer full training, a competitive rate of pay, and staff discount, the golden token to even more Christmas reductions.

If daunting essay deadlines are keeping you awake at night and you can’t commit to a regular job, do not fret! A really good way of earning a bit of cash is promotion work, like for instance, “flyering”. The job is flexible, and there is no obligation to work regular hours. A shift consists of three hours and £15 and the night shift is double. Providing that you work for a company that sponsors the night, it won’t be long until you will quickly find your name on the guest list.
