Yes, it is generally easy for international students in the UK to find part-time jobs, even if you have only six months of work experience.

You can work up to 20 hours/week during term time and full-time during official holidays (subject to change). Many part-time roles - such as retail assistant, barista, warehouse operative, and hospitality staff - do not require extensive prior experience. On-campus jobs like library assistant or student ambassador are also common and flexible for students.

Employers often value transferable skills like communication and teamwork, so highlight these in your CV. Make sure to follow the work hour restrictions set by your student visa.
