Top Up job?

Maureen43

Hello All,

Short introduction on this forum: Recently separated after many years of marriage, two kids. Working three days a week term-time only in an admin role in a school.

I am happy with my job but not happy at being so reliant on tax credits.

There is no chance of additional hours in my current job at present.

So, I am looking ideally for a "top up" job, hopefully for the two days a week I currently don't work. My first thought was that temping could be a good idea but are temp agencies interested in someone who can only work 2 set days of the week? Can anyone recommend good temp agencies or options?

The other, least preferred, option is to leave my current job and get a full time job elsewhere. With that in mind, which online job sites would people recommend for admin roles? There are so many out there and I am looking for ones with the best coverage.

Any other wisdom gratefully received!
M.

What about work where the hours suit you? Catalogue delivery, parcel delivery, etc.

I hadn't thought of that. How do you get into that?

Would I be self employed? I don't want to complicate my tax situation!

Try Reed.co.uk or jobsite - they are good 'cover all areas' sites.

There also might be something on more localised sites such as gumtree (could even be worth putting an ad on there yourself as an available part time admin assistant - a local small business might spot it at just the right time)
