Part-time work

Part-time work is popular with employers, who value its flexibility, and with employees, who can continue to build their skills and experience while fulfilling other commitments.

It's a massive benefit for us to have people studying and working at the same time – the biggest benefit is their ability to manage time and deliver outcomes.

Graduate Recruitment Manager, the Co-operative Group

Some employers now offer school term-time work only to provide parents with greater flexibility.

We're flexible with the support we give people, not only in terms of paying for study but if they need to change their working patterns as well.
