Second Jobs for Men

mjkyorkshire1

I'm a man in my 30s looking for a second income following my divorce.
I work full time Tuesday to Friday, have my daughters on a Saturday, so have Mondays during school hours and evenings free to me ... my Sundays are a bit precious.
Any ideas,suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

if you drive and don't mind using your own vehicle be a courier for a catalogue clothes/ small items etc. Delivery driver for local restaurant/takeaway. driver for your local doctors surgery to take elderly patients to appointments and back or to deliver their medications if housebound.

Any skills or education you could past on as a tutor or be a odd job/ handyman. Put up flat pack furniture.

work in a restaurant/takeaway/pub/local shop

not sure on correct job title but you go to someone house for an hour or more and have a chat or help to read post etc to a person that is housebound. You might be their only visitor for the week.

depending on what driving licence - could help local farmer or trade deliver large goods. HGV driver

Following freezsprit's advice. Some taxi firms allow you to decide what times and days are best suited for you and can be quite flexible with changing rotas on a weekly basis. Definitely an avenue worth exploring.

How do jobs for men differ from jobs for women ? Is this some kind of a code for particular jobs ?


I work for a company that offers the kind of hours you are looking for however they don't just employ men for any of their roles.

Out of town /superstores/shopping centres that are open late often employ staff specifically to work evenings and weekends as well as supermarkets who offer restocking roles for late evening but again these aren't gender specific so may not be suitable for you.

Oh thought of another job, factory worker.

One thing I would do is check is your current job contract sometimes they put in a cause about no other type of employment or limited hours or type of work for second job.

@ duchy, you can't specific ask for in a job ad man or women due to eu employment laws however certain jobs suit men better then women and some jobs suit women better than men. I remember years ago a man putting an ad in a shop window asking for 5 women and 3 men to do factory work. I asked why not just say looking for 8 people to do factory work. He said women were better on the line as they could multi task better and had smaller nimble hands/fingers to see and take faulty cosmetics off the line, repeal doggy labeling and relabel, However he found men could do the moving of completed boxed up cosmetics.

Cleaning? Insurance is cheap, depending on where you live you can charge £10-£18 an hour.

Search Engine Evaluation. Check out threads for Appen, Leapforce, Lionbridge, iSoftstone etc. Work from home, you only need a computer.

You could buy a franchise in an MLM business. They allow you to work your own hours, but you most likely would have to invest a little first to get the franchise. I know I did when I took out mine last year.
