Finding Part Time Work

​Taking a part-time job means you can earn extra income to put towards your living costs while you're here. Because our courses are intensive and we have a busy season of student performances, options for part-time work during our teaching periods can be limited. However, many of our students are able to find flexible part-time work around the city. This could be working front of house at a performance venue, or in one of Liverpool's many shops, restaurants and bars.

Our connections to Liverpool's theatres and gig venues means you may also be able to get paid work experience which links to your course while you're studying with us. We've also come on board as the education partner for the new British Music Experience attraction opening on the waterfront next year, so there's future work for our students here too.

For students who undertake professional placements as part of their course, such as Management and Theatre & Performance Design and Technology, this can sometimes lead to part-time work when you return to your course. We aim to be flexible to help you make the most of these opportunities as it gives you the chance to gain relevant paid experience at the same time as studying, providing an excellent stepping stone for your life after graduation.

We also provide casual work opportunities for our students here at LIPA. This includes working in our Learning Resources Centre and bar, stewarding in our theatres and at public events and leading building tours for guests. We employ students to work with young people and take part in visits to schools and colleges to help us widen access to our courses.
