Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between live-in and live-out jobs?
Live-in jobs include accommodation provided by your employer, often on-site or nearby, at a reduced cost (typically around £60 per week). Live-out jobs give you the freedom to find and arrange your own accommodation, offering more flexibility in where you live. Both options include guaranteed job opportunities before you arrive in the UK.
Can I work in the UK without experience?
Yes, most roles in our programs require little to no experience. Entry-level positions like waiting staff, bartenders, or housekeeping are beginner-friendly, with training provided on the job. If you have hospitality experience, it may open opportunities for skilled roles like baristas or chefs.
How much do hospitality jobs in the UK pay?
Wages for hospitality jobs vary depending on the role:
- Entry-level roles (e.g., waiting staff, bartenders): £9–£11 per hour.
- Skilled roles (e.g., baristas, chefs): £11–£15 per hour.
Many jobs also include tips (around £20–£100 per week), and live-in roles offer subsidised accommodation, making it easier to save.
How long does it take to get a job through UK Hospo Co?
The application process usually takes 4 to 8 weeks from the time you apply to securing a job opportunity. This depends on factors like job availability, visa processing times, and how quickly you complete your application. Applying early ensures more options and time to prepare.
