Thanks Sharron, my husband works varyin hours so I cannot take on evening work as he is sometimes out.
I cannot collect or drop off children as that is illegal unless I register as a childminder (was once!).
I hope to return to social services in the leaving care team where I was before. That depends on what they have available though as my youngest is not at school yet.
I babysit for https://www.sitters.co.uk which brings in a little

You must have some serious earning potential then ( I used to work in social work till fairly recently.

Could you not approach your local SS team or connexions? Only I KNOW for a fact that they often let you work flexibly ( ie write reports from home etc) if you have nippers.

Round my way a leaving care SW would command about 35k with 3 years PQ experience minimum

I know what you mean! I was all set to train as a SW but I fell pregnant! I was hoping maybe i could get some sessional work or something -I asked before Xmas but at that time I had no car and the jobs round here are all essential car user ( North Warwickshire, lots of villages!). Anyway, my parents bought me a car to help out - have to give it back if I do not get work :rotfl:
The supervised contacts is a great idea, and I had not thought of agencies... my youngest is old enough to start preschool ( she hasn't due to cost) but if I could work, that wouldn't be an issue.....

Also - do you know of any agencies that are in my area?
