Filter the Guildford jobs you’re interested in using the links on the left of this page and start applying today.

Types of jobs available in Guildford

Although a notably historic town with Saxon roots, Guildford’s job market is known for being extremely modern, with a number of computer game developers and electronics giants based in and around the town. However, this is only part of the story. Although a proportion of the local workforce choose to travel to and from London every day, this is a commuter town offering a range of job opportunities of its own, with a number of famous global companies basing some of their operations in the town. Aviva, Colgate-Palmolive and Allianz are among the biggest employers in the area, along with Ericsson and Sanofi. There is also a notable manufacturing presence in the town, with factories developing military vehicles, bus chassis and coaches providing employment. 
 
There are also retail job opportunities on the high street – often voted among the best in the country – along with tourism in the numerous hotels. The education sector is also a notable employer in the town, with the University of Surrey located just south of the A3 on Stag Hill and numerous state and private schools based in the town. 
 

Education and professional development in Guildford

The aforementioned University of Surrey has its main campus in the town, where it offers specialised courses in business, medicine, engineering and science. After rapidly climbing university league tables in recent years, it regularly appears within the top 10 of lists compiled by the likes of The Guardian and The Sunday Times. Guildford is also one of the principal locations for the University of Law, which offers specialist degrees and training along with continuing professional development for barristers and solicitors. Aspiring thespians can also tread the boards at the Guildford School of Acting, whose alumni include Bill Nighy and Celia Imrie.
 

Transport links in Guildford

Situated halfway between London and Portsmouth, Guildford has more of a city feel than a town – and has applied for the status to match numerous times. As a result, it is very well connected to the capital and surrounding towns. The local A3 road leads to the M25, but if you’re looking to go to London, you’re probably better off catching the train from one of the town’s two mainline stations. You can be at Waterloo within 40 minutes.
