Working in Brighton and Hove

Brighton and Hove is a dynamic city to work in, with a wide variety of industries and roles available. We have some very large companies situated within the city; however the majority of employers in the city have less than 5 employees. Around 70% of the workforce has full time jobs, but there are a significant number of opportunities for part time work, as well as season and casual roles. There are also plenty of internships and apprenticeships being offered in Brighton and Hove, giving plenty of scope to helping you find the right job.

A recent survey of local employees carried out by Brightonandhovejobs.com showed that the city’s workforce has an optimistic outlook, with people keen to improve their work-life balance by finding local jobs instead of commuting to London, despite the capital’s higher pay levels. Indeed, more than 80% of commuter respondents were looking for a shorter and easier journey to work. This trend may be influenced by the recent rise in train fares, although 25% of respondents believed the Brighton & Hove work environment is of a better quality. Among the respondents who did not yet have a job in Brighton & Hove, 75% were keen to find one in the next 12 months.

Increasing Brighton’s job pool, employers will be recruiting for positions in administrative and secretarial support, call centre and customer service, IT and telecoms, marketing, media and creative, management, sales and training, with a mixture of permanent, contract, casual and temporary roles.
