Changed jobs in middle of this virus

[Deleted User]

Okay so I am a full time student and work as a Support Worker part time. I changed to another company in middle of this virus, however this new company is agency work and I am on a zero hour contract, which I wasn't aware of as I stated the hours I wanted and was lead to believe it was those hours I was contracted. I was due to start this week but they have told me places aren't keen on new staff, which I understand. But what do I do for money I am extremely worried as I have Bill's to pay. I am looking for alternative work in the mean time but there is very little where I live. Can anyone offer some advice please or suggestions cause I am very worried about what will happen with my Bill's. Thank you.

Would your old employer take you back on and furlough you, wouldn't do any harm to ask at least.

Only if they're stupid or benevolent as it will cost them.

There are businesses  out there who are busy, see if any local to you are looking for staff.

OP is a student and they can only claim a benefit if they are claiming a disability benefit.
