If your immigration permission does not prohibit work, you are allowed to take employment as described in Student work without getting any further approval or permission. The UK Government has guidance on what you can expect when looking for a job. You should not be asked to pay for help in finding work or if you are offered a job, and do not take a job if you have any doubts about whether you will be paid, or treated properly or if the employer will act lawfully at all times. Find out more from your institution, which may have its own job shop for students. There are many job search websites and job agencies. You can find advertisements for jobs in your local newspapers, in shops, on notice boards around your university or college, in the careers service or your Students' Union. For example you must not undertake work on a freelance basis - see What kind of work can you do?

Remember to check your work restrictions and to comply with them.

Save the Student provides helpful advice on how to look for and find part-time jobs in the UK, including online. The type of work that students usually do during study is not easy to find at the moment cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, and many shops and offices are closed or offering limited services.
