Working in Oxford

Oxford's hospitality is shaped by two things: its university and its visitors. The colleges run substantial catering and formal-dining operations, while hotels, gastropubs and restaurants around the Covered Market, Jericho and the city centre serve a steady stream of tourists year-round. Demand rises with university terms and the summer season.

From college catering and hotel roles to bar, waiting and kitchen jobs in the city's pubs and restaurants, Oxford employers hire across all levels, with plenty of part-time and term-time work for students.
