Summer’s nearly here, and that means freedom, sunshine, and the perfect chance to earn a bit of cash. Whether you’re saving up for a festival, flights, or just want to stop living off beans on toast, getting a summer job can be a game-changer.
At Castle Homes, we don’t just offer luxury student accommodation, we’re all about helping you make the most of student life in Hull. So, if you’re staying in one of our student rental properties or house shares in Hull this summer, this one’s for you.
Why Bother with a Summer Job?
Let’s be honest: student loans don’t always stretch as far as we’d like. A summer job means you can go out more, worry less, and maybe even upgrade from instant noodles to real meals. Plus, it looks great on your CV. Employers love someone who doesn’t just sit around bingeing Netflix all summer.
Where Are the Best Jobs in Hull?
Hull’s full of opportunities if you know where to look. Here’s what we’ve seen work best for students living in our student accommodation in Hull…
- Hospitality Hustle
Bars, cafes, and restaurants love hiring students in summer. Try Humber Street, Newland Avenue, or Princes Avenue. - Retail Roles
Princes Quay and St Stephen’s are solid places to ask around. Bonus: staff discounts. - Campus Gigs
Hull Uni sometimes hires students for admin, events, or open days. Keep an eye on your emails and student portal. - Freelance/Remote Work
Got design, writing, or coding skills? Sites like Upwork or Fiverr can help you earn from your sofa (or back garden). - Temp Agencies
Agencies like Stafforce and Prestige are great for short-term summer work around the city.
Top Tips to Get Hired (Without the Stress)
- Sort Your CV
Keep it short, clean, and to the point. No one’s reading five pages about your GCSE geography coursework. - Apply Early
The best jobs go fast. Start now, not the week after your last exam. - Be Realistic
Don’t say yes to 40-hour weeks if you want time to relax too. Choose something flexible. - Use Your Network
Housemate got a job at a bar? Ask if they’re hiring. Sometimes it really is about who you know.
Balancing Work & Student Life
If you’re still living in one of our student house shares in Hull, keep your summer balance right. Don’t overdo the shifts. You’ve worked hard all year; your brain deserves a break too. Stick to jobs near your accommodation. Hull’s a walkable city, and no one wants a 6 am bus just to pull pints.
And remember: your summer job shouldn’t make your life harder. Pick something that pays fairly, treats you well, and leaves you enough time to enjoy the best bits of summer.
