According to the job centre, anything over 16 hours per week is full time
You can also say that you are available all day Saturday and Sunday - and evenings whch will bump the hours up."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -
you can't just pop along and say "hi I only wanna work four hours a day"
No it isn't
The OP is not saying they can only work 4 hours per day. They can work evenings, nights and weekends. Not everyone fits into a 9-5pm pattern. They are completely entitled to update their agreement depending on childcare commitments."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."

I know as far as doing a course anything over 16 hours is classed as fulltime. I don't know if this extends to working hours though.
It's not. I'm not being rude but it's very complex and as those rules are not relevant to your situation I won't go into detail.The OP is not saying they can only work 4 hours per day.

Precisely. If they said 9.30 till 2.30 or whatever you suggested I would be asking why not 6pm till 8am (or whatever the partner doesn't work)0 -

Well they can say to update with the following:

Tuesday 10-2 and 8-12
Wednesday 10-2 and 8 -12
Thursday 10-2 and 8-12
Friday 10-2 and 8-12

In theory yes, but they would also have to demonstrate that such vacancies exist.0 -

Of course they do.
It doesn't have to be only one job. Many of us work 2 or 3 jobs at the same time. It hardly needs demonstrating. Do the job centre really need people to draw diagrams for them these days?"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
