Employment
Finding a job can also be a key part of organising your trip to Cornwall.
One of the first places to look for local jobs is the jobs pages from the This Is Cornwall website (www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/jobs). This website is provided by the local newspaper, The West Briton and every week there are new jobs to apply for.
Cornwall is highly dependent on summer tourism and so there are often more job opportunities in the summer, particularly in Newquay.
Another place to look for jobs is the Job Centre. Most towns in the UK have a Job Centre and now you can also look at the Job Centre website: www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk to see the job opportunities available all over the country.
This website advertises millions of jobs around the country, including in Cornwall. The website is really useful and can lead you to lots of jobs but you have to go through various stages of specifying the exact job and location you are looking for, so take your time when looking at this website.
However, many of our students have said that they have found their jobs by going directly to businesses and asking for an application form.
Please make sure you check your rights to work in the UK on the UK Border Agency website.
