Full-time jobs in Malta
Full-time work makes up almost all of the Maltese job market: of the vacancies open on Jobhound right now, roughly nine in ten are full-time. The listings below span iGaming and finance offices in St Julian's and Sliema, manufacturing and pharmaceutical plants in the south of the island, hotels and restaurants across the coast, and warehouses and workshops in Marsa and Qormi. Some are posted by employers directly, others by recruitment agencies hiring on their behalf.
What a full-time contract means in Malta
A full-time contract in Malta is normally 40 hours a week. Statutory leave is 24 working days plus public holidays, and there are 14 public holidays a year, which is high by European standards. Employers deduct income tax and social security contributions at source. After a probation period, normally six months for most roles and one year for senior ones, notice periods apply in both directions. These are legal minimums, not employer perks, and they apply whether you are Maltese, an EU citizen or a third-country national with a work permit.
Which sectors hire full-time here
Full-time hiring is concentrated in a few sectors that dominate the Maltese economy:
- iGaming and online betting, mostly in St Julian's, Sliema and Gzira
- Financial services, accounting, audit, tax and corporate services
- Manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, concentrated in the south around Birżebbuġa and Hal Far
- Tourism and hospitality, seasonal at the edges but with permanent core staff
- Logistics, warehousing and vehicle trade, largely in Marsa and Qormi
- Healthcare, both public and private

Applying for full-time work here
Two things speed up a full-time application in Malta. First, state your availability date plainly — employers here plan around notice periods and a clear start date moves you up the list. Second, if you are already on the island, say so in the first line. A large share of applications come from abroad, and employers who need someone in the office read local applications first. If you are applying from outside Malta, say whether you already hold the right to work here, because that is the first question a recruiter will ask.
New to working in Malta?
English is an official language of Malta and most full-time roles are worked in English, so you do not need Maltese for the majority of these vacancies. EU and EEA citizens can take a full-time job without a permit and simply register once they arrive. Everyone else needs a work permit tied to a specific employer, applied for by that employer, so check the official guidance at identita.gov.mt before you commit to anything. If your qualification was awarded outside Malta, MFHEA is the body that compares it to the Maltese framework.
