Job ideas a few hours a week

Anyone got any ideas how I can flexibly earn about £100 a week to make up income on a part time job?

At the moment I'm selling items I already have on eBay. I do have lots of qualifications but I don't want this to be a 'career' job so happy doing anything really.

  • Bar work is always handy if there are any bars and pubs near by.
  • I'm working as an Explainer at a well-known museum. It's casual work, some weeks it's a couple of days, one week I only got half a day - but there would be more work available if I could fit it in. The pay's not bad (+/- £88 a day).



    Any zero hours job would fit the bill?

    Care work.

    Likely to be minimum wage but itll work out about 12 hours to get £100.

    If you can work around waking/bed times, you should get guaranteed work. Ie 7am-9am 8pm-11pm.

    In a tourist area there would be lots of casual work around bars and restaurants, hotels and holiday accommodation

    I live in a tourist area and this time of year theres work galore, even small shops and cafes tend to take on casual staff to take advantage of the longer evenings

    If this is longer term you could also consider doing a CELTA and then teaching in local language schools. It can be interesting work and is suitable casual worker. Its obviously more of a commitment than bar work but depends what you are looking for.
