Applying for a job

Business Bridge can help you gain valuable paid work experience before you graduate.

Work is flexible and based around your timetable. During term time you will be required to work 1 - 2 days per week, this can be full time during holiday periods. Business Bridge projects are part-time jobs, so all are subject to national minimum wage regulations. We set a guideline to companies of £35 to £45 per day (for a 7 hour day excluding lunch). Some employers may be willing to pay more, but this is at the discretion of the employer and should be discussed at interview.

Students are employed directly by the company and we recommend that you work from the company premises wherever possible.
