Hi

My GF is having a real hard time finding part time work. She can only do weekends and afternoons and in the Leeds area it seems a real problem finding anything decent.

Can anyone reccommend any good agencies/ websites please?

Thanks!

    Has she tried local pub restaurants or bars?

    Yes she has. Just after a list of websites or something that might offer part time work? Seems very hard to find such a site in the UK?

    Thanks

    How about being a personal assistant to a disabled person, there is lots of this work where I am. A lot of it is held by agencies or advertised privately by the individual needing the help.
    This kind of work is often weekend only or for a certain part of the day as usually there are a lot of people helping one individual throughout the week.
    It can be brilliantly sociable work taking someone out and about.

    Is there anything suitable on the NHS jobs website? or in local schools?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
