Summer work for student

Not sure this is the right place to post this but as it's where I normally post it's where I'd like to ask first...

My niece is looking for summer work - she is Israeli but has a UK passport - she doesn't want to come and live with her boring aunt and uncle so would need something with accommodation. Most of her experience is working with children so I've found her details of kids clubs etc that she can apply for but she may only be able to come over in June and July which is too early for kids work so she's happy to do pub work or similar but we don't know where to begin looking. Does anyone know of agencies etc?

  • I'm not sure how feasible getting work with children will be considering that she'll need to go through a CRB check beforehand.

    Regarding agencies, try ringing your local job centre. I'm sure they'll have plenty of information on local places.

    Try Gumtree - she can post details before she arrives and see what comes up....

    prehaps try posting in work wanted.....she could offer as a Mothers Help etc....

    There are sites for many of the towns in the UK too

    Hope she finds something....

    thanks for the suggestions

    I know that Aussies etc come over here with agencies who then place them around the country working in pubs and that's the kind of info I'm after - we'll look for individual jobs as well but it'd be easier if it's part of an organised scheme.

    And I know the CRB may be a problem which is another reason to look at pub work...
