St George's, Southwark: Jobs
Jobs
St George's in Southwark has a highly skilled workforce. Professional services, health, finance, and tech dominate the local job market — and over half of residents work mainly from home.
Professional, scientific and technical roles are the biggest employment sector, followed by health and social work, financial services, and information and communication. These four sectors together account for roughly half of all jobs held by local residents.
Remote working is really common here. More than half of working residents work mainly from home, which shapes how the neighbourhood feels during the day.
When residents do commute, walking is the most popular option after bus travel. Car use is low, which makes sense given the central location and strong public transport links into the wider city.
