What is a part-time job?

A part-time job is pretty much what it sounds like—a role where you work fewer hours than a full-time position. 

For anyone looking to earn some extra income, balance work with studies, or even just dip a toe into a new industry, part-time work can be the perfect fit. 

At M&B, part-time roles are available across our pubs, bars, and restaurants, offering you flexibility while still making you feel part of a vibrant, supportive team. 

From serving up pints to working behind the scenes in the kitchen, we have a variety of part-time positions that let you work around your schedule and enjoy the perks of working in hospitality.

How many hours is a part-time job?

There’s no strict definition, but in the UK, part-time work generally means working less than 30 hours a week. This can vary based on the needs of the role and your availability. 

At M&B, we understand that flexibility is key, so you’ll find part-time shifts that fit around your life. 

Whether you're looking to work weekends, a few evenings a week, or any mix that fits your routine, we’re happy to work with you to create a schedule that makes sense for both you and the team.

How to find a part-time job in the UK 

Searching for a part-time job can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re after a role in hospitality, we can make it easy to find something that’s a perfect fit.

We offer a range of part-time options, including bar and waiting jobs. So if you thrive on the buzz of serving up drinks or enjoy creating memorable dining experiences, we have roles that let you showcase your talents. 

No need to worry about a CV for our hourly jobs at M&B—we like to keep things straightforward. Just tell us a bit about yourself in the application, and you’re good to go! It’s all about making it as easy as possible for you to get started with us. 

Here are some steps you can take to make finding a part-time job easier: 

  • Think about your schedule - consider what hours work best for you—whether evenings, weekends, or weekdays—before looking for a job.
  • Prepare your CV - update it with relevant skills and experience, but remember, we don’t require a CV for our hourly roles at M&B, making it easier to apply!
  • Search and network locally - visit local businesses and ask about open positions—this is a great way to learn more about which of our brands or venues you'd love to work in!
