Flexible job opportunities for university students in Port Macquarie that aren't in hospitality - therapists and meter readers
You may be surprised to learn that there are more job opportunities than stacking shelves at Woolies or waiting on tables.
After all, not everyone is into retail. Also, uni students should be taking the opportunity to build their career CV while earning money.
For example, there have been numerous opportunities advertised for therapists, usually advertised as "therapy assistant" or "behaviour therapist", in PMQ. These jobs are particularly relevant for CSU Port Macquarie students completing degrees in psychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, medicine, paramedicine, teaching, nursing or education.
One ad said: "We understand that university schedules can be demanding, so we offer flexible working hours to accommodate your schedule." Another ad said: "University students currently studying in a related field (Education, Psychology, Speech and Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy) are welcomed!."
Another opportunity - for anyone who likes walking - is meter reader for Skilltech, which advertises "flexibility of employment for university students".
