Imperial students are unusually well placed for local work: the South Kensington campus sits right on the border of Kensington & Chelsea, and the White City campus is inside Hammersmith & Fulham — both live BOB O JOB boroughs. Set a radius around either campus or your halls and the jobs that appear are ones you can reach between a morning lab and an afternoon lecture, without crossing London.
The housing around both campuses — mansion blocks and period conversions in SW7 and W8, terraces and new builds around W12 — books the everyday jobs students are good for: cleans, flat-pack builds, moving help, deliveries waited in for, and dogs walked while their owners are at work. Evening and weekend events shifts fit around a heavy timetable.
Working near Imperial — your questions answered
Can I work between lectures at South Kensington or White City?
Yes — that's the point of the radius. Set it around whichever campus you're based at (or your halls) and you'll only see jobs you can actually reach. There are no minimum hours and no set shifts, so a free afternoon is enough.
Which areas around Imperial are live?
Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham — the boroughs the two campuses sit in and beside — are both live, along with Wandsworth across the river. Coverage is expanding across London borough by borough.
How much can students at Imperial earn?
Most jobs pay between £12.75 and £45 an hour, and you see the exact take-home on every job before you accept it. You earn more as you complete jobs and move up through Bronze, Silver and Gold.
What checks do I have to pass?
Every Jobber is ID-verified, interviewed by our team and DBS-checked before they take a single job — you apply for the DBS check yourself at gov.uk and pay the fee, which is a cost of running your own business. Nobody is approved automatically, and customers can see that every Jobber has been through the same checks.
When and how do I get paid?
The customer's card is authorised the moment they post the job, so the money is checked and reserved before you travel and there's no invoice to raise or chase. It isn't held in a separate escrow account and it isn't a guarantee: nothing actually leaves the customer's account until the job is confirmed complete, and in the rare case of a dispute or a card chargeback a payment can be reversed after it has reached you. Your earnings are released as soon as the customer confirms the job — or automatically about 4 hours after you mark it complete if they don't, unless they've raised an issue. That window gives them a fair chance to flag a problem before the money moves, which is what keeps disputes from landing after you've been paid. From there it's paid into your bank on Stripe's standard schedule — usually 1–2 business days once your account is established. Your first payout can take a little longer while Stripe finishes its checks.
