Part Time Jobs in the UK

The listings on this page are part time vacancies posted by UK employers. Retail, hospitality, care and admin offer the most part time roles, but you will also find part time positions in healthcare, education, cleaning, warehousing, customer service and professional fields such as accounting and marketing. Hours can be fixed, such as school hours from 9:30 to 2:30, or flexible shifts that change from week to week.

Part time workers in the UK have the same basic employment rights as full time staff. That includes at least the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage for your age, paid holiday worked out in proportion to your hours, rest breaks and protection from being treated less favourably because you work part time. Some part time jobs also come with pension contributions, staff discounts and training.

When you apply, be clear about when you are available. Employers filling shifts want to know straight away whether your hours suit their rota. Mentioning reliability, punctuality and any relevant experience, even volunteering, helps your application.

Part time work is also a sensible way to return to work after a career break, ease back after illness or try a new industry before committing to full time hours. Many employers are open to increasing your hours later, and some part time roles are advertised as job shares, where two people split one full time position.
