Colgate & Rusper, Horsham: Jobs

Health and social care, retail, and construction are the biggest employers in Colgate & Rusper. But what really catches your eye is how many people work from home. Over 40% of working residents worked mainly from home at the 2021 Census. That's a substantial chunk of the neighbourhood, and it reflects the draw of Colgate & Rusper for professionals in finance, tech, and professional services who don't need to be in an office every day. When residents do commute to work, most drive. Public transport use is low — which makes sense in a rural setting like this. Health and social work, wholesale and retail, and construction each employ over 300 residents. Education and transport are also significant employers. Agriculture still plays a small but real role in the local economy.
