Student-friendly jobs with social purpose

Social Side Gig is a recruitment social enterprise for students. We provide a free service, matching students to rewarding jobs in the social care sector that can be fitted in around studies and social-life. 

Why Social Side Gig

Develop and Grow

We offer jobs that will give you the opportunity to demonstrate the qualities that graduate employers look for, such as confident communication skills, good time-management, adaptability, resilience, a sense of fun and interest in people.

Achieve work-study-life balance

We only partner with organisations that are committed to offering flexible, student-friendly jobs that can be easily fitted around your studies and social life. At Social Side Gig, we believe a student job should enhance your student experience, not takeaway from it.

Make a Difference

By supporting people to maintain their independence and connection to their community, you will make a huge positive difference to their life. You will learn from people's unique life-experiences, enriching your own perspective.

We understand that working in the social care sector may not be something you have thought about before or know much about. This is why we only partner with employers who are interested in hiring students with the right values and attitude rather than experience. What matters is you being a great communicator, having a sense of fun, and a keen interest in people and passion for helping others!
