Part-Time Jobs Fair (Thursday 30 April)
kent.ac.uk/whats-on/event/80660/part-time-jobs-fair-2026
- 10am – 2pm on the Lawn outside Templeman Library*, Canterbury campus
*weather permitting, please register to keep up-to-date in case of venue change - The Part-Time Jobs Fair welcomes a small selection of employers who are looking to speak with students about part-time, seasonal and temporary vacancies.
At the Fair there will also be a:
- Part-time Job CV Clinic: We will be running a drop-in CV Clinic just outside the Fair, where you can receive CV advice from the Careers team.
- Calm Admission: 10am -10:30am is Calm Admission. We know that a careers fair can be daunting. Crowds can make some individuals feel anxious or cause concerns about physical access. The Careers Service will be starting the Fair with a calmer 30 minute slot. This is intended to give you time to meet with employers in a less crowded space before our main event begins (you are of course welcome to stay for this too).
We look forward to you joining us!
