Part time jobs in Aarhus

A part time job is a good way for you to get a foothold in the labour market and thereby strengthen your professional skills and CV. Part time work can also be an advantage if you are studying for a degree or do not have the time or resources to hold a full time position.

However, it can be difficult to find a part time job that suits your particular needs. In this article, we will therefore review 7 types of part time jobs in Aarhus that can give you inspiration when you have to choose your next part time job.

1. Delivery service

According to indicative studies, more than 25% of the Danish population bought groceries on the internet. These numbers will probably increase over the next few years, which is why companies such as Wolt and Foodora have become popular among Danes.

Both Wolt and Foodora are expanding strongly in Aarhus and in this connection they need new delivery staff who can deliver food and groceries. A part time job as a delivery worker can give you freedom, as you can book your shifts when it suits you best. In addition, you can earn an hourly wage of between DKK 125 and DKK 180. However, the part time job typically requires you to have a bicycle, scooter or a car.

2. Kitchen assistant

If you thrive in a busy environment, part time work as a kitchen assistant may be for you. Like Copenhagen and other big cities, Aarhus has several restaurants that continuously need labour. A part time job as a kitchen assistant involves, among other things, to participate in and take responsibility for the cooking, contribute with new ideas and ensure a high level of hygiene and comply with occupational health and safety requirements.

It should be mentioned that the working hours as a kitchen assistant are often long or irregular. The hourly wage is around DKK 120 - DKK 130, but it depends on the individual company.

3. Sales assistant

In addition to restaurants, there are also many shops and department stores in Aarhus that need part time employees. Part time work as a sales assistant gives you the opportunity to get to know new industries, e.g. the clothing or supermarket industry, sometimes referred to as FMCG, Fast Moving Consumer Goods.  Sales assistants can work in small shops or large companies.

A sales assistant must, among other things, give customers a good shopping experience, which is why customer service plays a central role. However, a sales assistant can also handle sales activities and plan promotional and merchandising activities in the store together with the store manager. In smaller companies, the sales assistant can also help plan marketing related tasks. Thus, a part time job as a sales assistant may be relevant if you also want study related experience.

The hourly wage as a part-time sales assistant is around DKK 130, but can vary depending on the workplace

4. Bartender

Aarhus has a festive city life with numerous restaurants and bars that need part time bartenders. A part time job as a bartender often entails busy working hours, which is why the work can help teach you to keep a cool head in stressful situations.

Like kitchen assistants, bartenders can also experience odd or long working days. The hourly wage is typically around DKK 130 - DKK 140.

5. Service employee

A part time job as a service employee may be obvious if you are a student. Service employees work in supermarkets for example, where they help put goods in place, empty the bottle machine and guide customers. You thus get customer experience and an insight into how a supermarket works.

The hourly wage for a part time service worker is typically around DKK 130 - DKK 140.

6. Homework helper

Part time work as a homework helper can be a good way in which you can share your knowledge within a certain area. Working hours are often flexible and homework help can also take place online.

The hourly wage is typically around DKK 130 – 140, but can be higher depending on your experience and expertise.

7. Independent

If you are skilled in a certain area, for example design, or marketing, then you can consider becoming self employed. Here you decide how many hours you work, which can be obvious if you are a student or want to work part time.

However, you must be aware that being independent can also be time consuming, especially if you have not built up a network.
