Work that bends around lectures, not the other way round
The hardest part of a term-time job is the timetable. BOB O JOB has no minimum hours and no set shifts — you go online between lectures, in the evenings or at weekends, and offline when deadlines hit.
Use the skills you already have
You don't need a CV full of experience. If you're strong, organised, handy, green-fingered or great with dogs, there's an everyday job that needs exactly that — cleaning, moving help, flat-pack assembly, gardening, dog walking and more.
What you can earn
Most jobs take home between £12.75 and £45 an hour. A few hours a week covers the fun stuff; pick up more in the holidays. That is what you take home, not what the customer pays, and you see it on every job before you accept. It is before tax — you're self-employed, so tax and National Insurance are yours to handle. Earnings are released when the customer confirms, or about 4 hours after you finish, then paid out on Stripe’s standard schedule.
Stay local
Set your radius around your halls or flat and only see jobs nearby — less travel, more time for everything else.
