  • I dont think you will be able to work in any shops yet as you are only 15. What about a paper round or distributing leaflets? Dog walking or babysitting?
  • A baby-sitter should be at least 16 years of age. No person under that age can be held legally responsible for any untoward happenings.

    So, where a baby-sitter is under the age of 16 years, parents remain legally responsible to ensure that their child comes to no harm. For this reason, the NSPCC does not recommend asking anyone under 16 to look after a young child.

    Go round all the restaurants and pubs. See if they want a dishwasher or glass collector/cleaner. That's the kind of job I used to get in the summer.

    No advice to offer, but hope you find something. With your determination and initiative you deserve to get on.

    Janice,

    When I was your age I graduated from the paper rounds and then found a job in what was then "under £10 shops" - they used to be quite popular. its more independent retailers that youll have more joy with, as opposed to your "chains" supermarkets, coffee places and the like.

    Cafes used to always take on saturday staff, newsagents, and clothes shops and market stalls.

    You can search on job centre plus for saturday ( if you put saturday in the search box)

    http://www.connexions-bdp.co.uk/Parents-Employers-Partners/Employer_Zone/Rules__Regulations heres the legislation on under 16s working, you certainly can work at 15 years old legally.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
