From Bar Staff to Lifeguarding: The Part-Time Jobs Brighton Students Can Pick Up This January

5 January 2026

From bar staff to lifeguarding- all the part time work students can pick up in Brighton this January 2026.

December is a huge month for the overdraft to be working overtime. Travelling home and back to uni, Christmas, New Year’s, and maybe even a uni ski trip can leave your bank balance looking a little worse for wear by the time January rolls around.

A lot of students come back after the break thinking: how do I make this next student loan last until spring? For many, the answer is picking up a bit of part-time work.

As term two kicks off, you’re usually more settled into your course, your timetable, and your routine, which makes January a good time to take on a few hours here and there. Whether it’s to top up your bank account, cover rising costs, or start saving for summer, flexible work can make a real difference.

We’ve done some of the legwork for you and rounded up part-time jobs currently available in Brighton that work around uni timetables, sports, and other commitments. We’ve found a nice mix where these roles offer flexible hours and student-friendly schedules.
