Windsor might be famous for its castle, its cobbled streets, and its royal visitors — but it’s also a great place to launch a career, especially if you’re ready to leave behind bar shifts, café tips, or your old student job.
Whether you’ve just finished uni, are midway through a career pivot, or simply want something more stable and professional, there are more job options in Windsor than you might think.
At Bucks and Berks Recruitment, we work with graduates and early-career professionals every single day, helping them step confidently into their first real role, and out of the cycle of low-paid, short-term work that doesn’t go anywhere.
So, if you’re wondering how to land a job in Windsor that isn’t hospitality or retail, read on.
What Kind of Graduate Jobs Are Actually Available in Windsor?
We get it — when people think of work in Windsor, they often imagine hotels, restaurants, and tourist-facing jobs. And yes, those are part of the local economy. But behind the scenes, Windsor is also home to a thriving community of businesses in industries like:
- Sales and business development
- Marketing and content
- Human resources and recruitment
- Finance and accounts
- Administration and operations
- Customer service and office support
These aren’t huge corporations (although there are a few of those too) — they’re often mid-sized businesses looking for bright, enthusiastic people who want to grow with them. And they’re actively recruiting in 2025 — both for temporary roles (ideal for getting experience fast) and permanent graduate positions where you can build a long-term career.

Don’t Have Experience? Here’s Why That’s OK
We hear it all the time:
“But I don’t have any experience in an office. Why would anyone hire me?”
Here’s the thing. Most employers hiring for graduate or entry-level roles don’t expect you to have loads of experience. What they want is someone who:
- Turns up on time
- Communicates well
- Is willing to learn
- Shows initiative
- Can handle a bit of pressure without panicking
Got some retail or hospitality experience under your belt? Volunteering? Freelance work? That all counts. Our consultants will help you frame it the right way; showing how your transferable skills make you a great fit for an office-based role.
