Entry Level Jobs in the UK

The listings on this page are jobs that employers have marked as entry level. You will find them in almost every sector: administration and office support, customer service, retail, hospitality, logistics, care, sales, IT support, finance and marketing. Some are part time and some are full time permanent roles with a clear path to promotion.

Entry level does not mean there are no requirements at all. Many employers still look for basic English and maths, good communication, reliability and a willingness to learn. Some roles need a driving licence, a DBS check or the ability to work shifts. The advert will set out exactly what is needed, so read it before you apply.

If you are short on experience, your CV can still be strong. Include part time work, volunteering, school or college projects, sports teams, caring responsibilities and any courses you have completed. Describe what you did and what you achieved. Employers hiring at entry level care more about attitude and potential than a long employment history.

Use the job description as a checklist when writing your application. Pick out the skills and qualities the employer mentions, such as teamwork, accuracy or customer focus, and give a short example of when you have shown each one. This makes it easy for the employer to see that you are a good match, even without direct experience.

Taking an entry level job is often the fastest way into a new industry. Many people move up to supervisor, specialist or management roles within a few years. Create a free JobsChance account, upload your CV and apply for entry level jobs in minutes.
