    Yep! It's 12 hours a week at £9.50 an hour. Not sure how tax or NI works out though. Still, better than nothing :smile: thank you!x

    I believe NI should be zero & tax should be 20%.  Make sure they use a tax code similar to 0BR = Basic rate tax with no personal allowance.  Otherwise you could end up owing tax & it is easier to sort it at the start than having to pay it back.

    Thanks I thought this would be the case!
