How do part-time jobs work at uni?

Hi,
I was wondering how jobs work when people are at uni? For example, do you have to resign from your job over Christmas in order to go home? Or do you take it as holiday? Do people get term-time contracts?

I don’t understand how it works haha

Any advice would be appreciated :smile:

It all depends on the employer, many people would get zero hours contracts or take holidays, in some cases they wouldn't go home for the full holiday as most universities don't make you leave accommodation over the holidays until your contract is up.

Mcdonalds take on a lot of students.
They allow you to transfer stores and work at your uni store while at uni and a store near home during the summer/christmas.
You could also just get a job at a store near uni and not work there when you are back home.
