The Doctor

The Tenth Doctor took a job as a teacher to investigate the oddities at Deffry Vale High School. (TV: School Reunion) The Eleventh Doctor briefly held a job at Sanderson & Grainger, a department store in Colchester. Though he claimed he did so to "live in the moment", he was actually investigating Cyber-activity which seemed to be localised around his new workplace. (TV: Closing Time) The Twelfth Doctor worked as a lecturer at St Luke's University since the 1940s (AUDIO: Regeneration Impossible) as he and Nardole guarded the Vault. In 2017, he took on the additional job of being Bill Potts' personal tutor. (TV: The Pilot)
In an alternate timeline caused by a temporal collision, the First Doctor spent three months working as a guest lecturer at a university in Kiria City on Urbinia. (AUDIO: Daughter of the Gods)

She initially worked as a kissogram, (TV: The Eleventh Hour) before changing jobs to become a model, (TV: Closing Time, Asylum of the Daleks) a writer for a travel magazine (TV: The Power of Three) and finally a fiction author.

For his part, the Doctor was shocked that both of them had jobs, having assumed that the couple mainly kissed when he was not there. (TV: The Power of Three)
Clara Oswald initially worked as a nanny, (TV: The Bells of Saint John) before she became a teacher at Coal Hill School. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) She later transferred to Ravenscaur School. (TV: Clara Oswald and the School of Death) Not long after the Eleventh Doctor's regeneration, Clara noted to the Twelfth Doctor that their travels were her hobby, not her job. (TV: Into the Dalek)
Yasmin Khan was a police officer employed at Hallamshire Police when she met the Thirteenth Doctor. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth) Though she was initially heavily dedicated to her profession, to the point that her family considered her to be "married to her job", (TV: Arachnids in the UK) her increasing association with the Doctor caused her to she leave this profession sometime before the First Flux event.
