If you leave, it's likely you'll be sanctioned. So you'll be worse off financially and be expected to look for work.

What else can you do? What skills/qualifications do you have?

Do I take the risk of handing in my notice now and hoping that I'll have found another job by the time my month is up?

Why not look for another job while in your present one?

Why aren't you looking for another job whilst still working? You are still left with plenty of time when your children are at school and you are home, so confused why you would take the risk of giving up your job before ensuring you have another one to go to.

If you read more threads here, you will see that the Job Centre have stopped showing much sympathy for anyone. They would put a lot of pressure on you, might expect you to look for more hours that you think is right, and will stop your benefits at the slightest problem. That's much more stressful that looking for another job whilst still employed. Also, keep in mind UC.
