Other popular UK platforms such as, Reed, Totaljobs, and LinkedIn regularly list part-time or entry-level positions suitable for students. For opportunities in SME’S, sites like WorkInStartups can also be useful. If you’re open to exploring something more professional or even remote alongside your studies, platforms like Capital Placement can help you connect with paid part-time or full-time internship opportunities around the world for a placement fee (If you need to avoid the hassle of securing one yourself) .
